    Comparison between pointer and integer

    I am running into an error that states:
    warning: comparison between pointer and integer
    230 | while (currentWord != NULL && wordCountChoice > currentWord->count)


    When running this code:
    Code:
    currentWord = wordptr;
        wordCountChoice;
        while (currentWord != NULL && wordCountChoice > currentWord->count)
        { 
            //prints as word,# where # is the word occurance count
            fprintf (outputFile, "%s,%d \n", currentWord->str, currentWord->count);
            printf ("%s",currentWord->str);
            currentWord = currentWord->next;
        }
    If I have written this code correctly then the objective of the code is to only display words from a doubly linked list that have a word count greater or equal to the users wordCountChoice.
    Any help is appreciated.

    wordCountChoice should be an integer, not a char* if that's what it is.
    You can convert the string input to an integer with atoi().
    Also note that line 2 above does nothing.
