This is a new reply to an old comment that I missed. Keep in mind that I have not seen (or don't remember seeing) the specific video. Having said that, Prof. Malan was clearly discussing the speller problem set and linked lists. It's almost certain that list is also declared as a pointer to a node structure. It is perfectly correct to copy the address stored in one pointer var to another pointer var using something like a = b; when both a and b are declared as pointers to the same data types or the same struct types.

However, in the lecture of week 5, David writes code for a node as: node *ptr = list. Why does this work? Shouldn't *ptr be assigned to a value like &list? | |
