adding to middle of linked list

[johngoodman]

I'm trying to make a function that lets me pass an index and a string and will insert the string at that index in the linkedlist... here is so function i have so far, but am stuck and don't know where to go from here, any help would be appreciated!

typedef struct node {
  char* value;
  struct node* next;
} LinkedList;
 
 
void llAddAtIndex(LinkedList** ll, char* value, int index) {
 
  LinkedList* newNode =(LinkedList*)malloc(sizeof(LinkedList));
  newNode->value = value;
  LinkedList* prevNode = NULL;
  LinkedList p;
  p = ?????
   
  for(int i = 0; i < index; i++){
      prevNode = p;
    p = p->next;
  }
    if (prevNode) { 
      prevNode->next = newNode;
      newNode->next = p;
    } else { 
        head = newNode;
        newNode->next = p;
      }
}

Aren't you supposed to find a position in the list that's passed into the function?

Yeah, I was just kind of blindly typing stuff, but thats what I want it to do

I think the operative words there were "Aren't you supposed ..."

Start at the head of the list.

What's 'head'?
You actually have far more problems than just line 13.
Quite frankly, the existence of a facility to perform an action with an item at a specified index of a linked-list is plain wrong. It leads to code that suffers from the combined disadvantages of boths lists and arrays, whilst also providing few of the benefits of either. It's quite simply an abomination to begin with.
