    define two functions

    Given that:

    Code:
    typedef struct node {
    char *title;
    char *ISBN[10];
    struct book *next;
    } insert_queue;
    How do i write a function:
    void title_insert (insert_queue **front, insert_queue **rear, char *name, char *ISBN[]) such that *front point to the 1st node, *rear point to the last node. It will insert a new node with title and ISBN at the end of queue and update front and rear.

    Thanks all.

    You're a little slow aren't you? Haven't picked up yet that we don't do people's homework for them?

    When did books start having 10 ISBN numbers?

    Start by drawing some diagrams of a list on paper.

    What does the list look like when it's empty.

    How do you add a node to an empty list, think about the operations you perform.

    Then model adding a node to a list with 1 element (see previous).

    Repeat until you get some idea of what special cases there may be (say adding a node to an empty list), or what might be general.

    Then have a go at expressing your ideas in code.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I was under the impression that books have 13 ISBN-10 numbers. Right?

    13 characters, yes. But of course that would be char ISBN[13], not char *ISBN[13].

    Wow... tough crowd tonight. Perhaps this can shed some light on my previous post.

    If I was sure the OP had already seen the difference, I wouldn't have bothered.

    Ah yes. Well I will quietly climb off my soap box and sit down in the back corner of the room...

    Actually, old-style ISBN is 10 digits. Modern ISBN is 13 digits (because the old style ones ran out).

    And it annoys me how some tend to use ISBN-10 and some ISBN-13 and some sites only accept / recognize ISBN-13... Gah >_<

    Pobrecita. Perhaps you can send them a nasty email in protest.
