Array of Linked Lists Question

[h4m]

Hi,

I need help implementing an array of linked lists. My code is as follows:

List structure:

typedef struct L
{
    char field[50];
    struct L *next;
} List;

Then to create the array of Lists, and pass it to another function, I'm using:

List *t[100];

t = listArrayFunction(t);

With listArrayFunction as:

List **listArrayFunction(List **t)
{
    printf("/n/nfillList called/n/n");
    return t;
}

Now I know I've made a mess with the *'s somewhere, as I get an error "Incompatible types in assignment" on the line t = listArrayFunction(t);

Could someone help me with this?

Thanks for your help in advance.

**ptr != *ptr[]
The first one is a pointer to a poiter.
The 2nd one is an array of pointers.

Try:

List **listArrayFunction(List *t[])

[edit] this is not the problem -- see below

Thanks for your help.

I tried using the correction you mentioned but it seems I've still got something wrong.

I've tried not returning the array at all and it seems to still update the original array in the main function, so will leave it as it is for now.

Cheers.

Actually my apologies -- your error was incompatible assignment, which has to do with the =

And you can pass a pointer array to **arg. Sorry again.

HOWEVER, you can't return **this to be *that[100], because you cannot really assign anything to an entire array of pointers.
