    Why do you i get this problem?? :(

    Hello,
    i posted few days back about T9 dictionary problem. I have solved the program with part of C functions and part of C++ functions because in our college still C++ file part is not taught to us, so i made it partly in C and partly in C++. Anyways my problem is the whole program runs perfectly but at the end of the execution i get statement....


    NULL POINTER ASSIGNMENT

    this is my only problem..i don't know why is this problem coming please help me

    You get it because you are trying to set something via a NULL pointer. A trivial example would be:
    Code:
    int *ptr;
    ptr = NULL;
    ...
    *ptr = 7;   // Pointer is NULL, so a "NULL POINTER ASSIGNMENT".
    Of course, the pointer where this fails could be part of a data structure, or otherwise "hidden".
