Thread: Linked List Error

Hi, I'm new to C programming and I'm trying to create code ( it's part of a larger program) which creates linked list of country codes. Basically I'm getting the country codes inputted from the user which I store in a structure and then I created a separate structure (as requested in assignment question) which will store the country code.

I'm getting the following error:
error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before '.'

This is part of the code :

Code:

void enterclientrecord(const clientrecord_type *clientrecord, listCode** startPtr)
{
    scanf("%s",clientrecord->countrycode);


    insertCode(startPtr, clientrecord->countrycode);
        
};

void insertCode(listCode **startPtr, const char *countryCode)
{
    listCode *prevNode = NULL, *curNode = *startPtr;
    
    listCode *newNode = (listCode*)malloc(sizeof(listCode));
    
    
        listCode.countryCode = countryCode; //ERROR IS GIVEN HERE
    
    newNode->nextPtr = NULL;
    
    while ((curNode != NULL)&&( strcmp(newNode->countryCode , curNode->countryCode) > 0 ) )
    {
        prevNode = curNode;
        curNode = prevNode->nextPtr;
    };


    if (prevNode==NULL)
    {
        *startPtr=newNode;
    }    


    else
    {
        prevNode->nextPtr = newNode;
    };


    newNode->nextPtr = curNode;
            
};

Code:

        listCode.countryCode = countryCode;

listCode seems to be a struct type
guess you want

Code:

        newNode->countryCode = countryCode;

I did as you said but now it gave me these errors
1. warning C4090 =' : different 'const' qualifiers
2. error C2106: '=' : left operand must be l-value
I have no idea what they mean?

Sorry didnt look at the definition of countryCode.
You will have to use strcpy() to copy the countryCode into the listCode

@claudiu .. what is an alternative to malloc?

Hi, I'm trying to print the items in the list (a continuation from code above) however its not working..

Code:

void printList(listCode* startPtr){
	listCode* curNode = startPtr;


	printf("*** Country Stats *** \n");


	while (curNode != NULL)
	{
		displayStats(curNode);
		curNode = curNode->nextPtr;
	};
};

ahhh sorry i misunderstood, thanks!
