Going blind can't see my error, please help.
Hey guys I just started coding in C, so i'm no up to par with everything. I've been writing a program that deals with structs and linked lists, and I've run into an "imcompatible type in assignment" error and I can't see what's going on because I've been looking at this code for 1.5 hrs now. please help me. Thanks!
here's my func file
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "funcs.h"
LIST_ELEM *add(LIST_ELEM *pHead,char type[],char name[], char title[], int year, int price, int size){
LIST_ELEM *new_elem = malloc(sizeof(LIST_ELEM));
new_elem->type = type;
new_elem->name = name;
new_elem->title = title;
new_elem->year = year;
new_elem->price = price;
new_elem->size = size;
return new_elem;
}
my header
Code:
typedef struct list_elem
{
char type[5];
char name[50];
char title[50];
int year;
int price;
int size;
struct list_elem *pNext;
}LIST_ELEM;
LIST_ELEM *add(LIST_ELEM *pHead,char type[],char name[], char title[], int year, int price, int size);
int size(LIST_ELEM *phead);
LIST_ELEM *find(LIST_ELEM *pHead, int value);
void print(LIST_ELEM *pHead);
and my main (its a noob program, but i'm a noob so its ok :) )
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include "funcs.h"
int main(void){
LIST_ELEM *pHead = NULL;
char type[5];
char name[50];
char title[50];
int year;
int price;
int size;
int choice;
do {
printf("What would you like to do? \n\n");
printf("0. Exit \n");
printf("1. Print books/cds. \n");
scanf("%d", &choice);
switch(choice){
case 1:
print(pHead);
break;
case 2:
printf("Enter 'book' or 'cd' for type: \n");
scanf("%s", &type);
printf("Enter name of author/artist: \n");
scanf("%s", &name);
printf("Enter title: \n");
scanf("%s", &title);
printf("Enter year published/released: \n");
scanf("%d", &year);
printf("Enter price: \n");
scanf("%d", &price);
printf("Size of book/cd: \n");
scanf("%d", &size);
pHead = add(pHead,type,name,title,year,price,size);
break;
}
}while(choice != 0);
return 0;
}
I know it has to do with the passing in of character string for my add() method, but I don't know what the right syntax is to get it to work. Thanks again!
