Thread: help!!

can anyone tell me what's wrong with my code..

here is the method..

Code:

PositionNode addPosNode(int posNum)
{
   PositionNode *newNode;
   
   newNode = malloc(sizeof(PositionNode));
   
   if(newNode == NULL)
   {
      return NULL;
   }
   
   newNode->positionNum = posNum;
   newNode->nextPosition = NULL;
   
   return newNode;
}

it gives me error "incompatible types in return"

and here is the structure definition

Code:

typedef struct positionNode
{
   int positionNum;
   struct positionNode* nextPosition;
} PositionNode;

The way you declared your function it is supposed to return a PositionNode but returns a pointer to a PositionNode.
Make addPosNode() return a pointer.
Like this

Code:

PositionNode * addPosNode(int posNum)
