Then that's why you get the segfault. If you declared table as node* table[n], table is just a pointer for nodes. So since it's not a node itself, it doesn't have the next attribute itself. So when try to load your first node, table[value] points to NULL, and since you try N->next = table[value]->next; the segfault occurs. You try to access NULL->next

I tried it just because I wanted to be really sure the while() loop does not run 1 time too many (but I still didn't succeed). - On the table declaration, I did not show the code but it was indeed declared globally as node *table[n]. So my global declaration plus the for() loop to malloc() the table do exactly the same thing as you were saying. | |
