Best practice is to always make sure your variables are initialized/assigned to before you read from them whether they are pointers or not. | |
| Oct 6, 2023 at 1:30 | comment | added | Poptart | Hi UpAndAdam, I misspoke in saying no data has been loaded prior to this. I meant that in this iteration of the loop, the specific scanned string has not yet been loaded into the table. At this point in the program, about 58,000 other pieces of data have already been loaded into the table with no issue. For the string variable, I'm using it because that's what was suggested in the specifications, and I didn't know you could scan directly into n->word. I had been using string as a buffer to ensure that the data wasn't lost along the way. I am still troubleshooting valgrind leaks :) | |

| Oct 5, 2023 at 14:59 | comment | added | UpAndAdam | what do you mean by "replace 'a' where it existed in its linked list on the hash table before any days is actualy allocated into a linked list" if no data is allocated into the linked list then how is a there? do you mean before that word is put into the linked list? Are you checking that n is succeeding in it malloc calls? Also why bother with the string variable instead of just reading directly into n->word with the pattern you are using? Just wasting time on a strcopy. how is your node defined? also you are leaking memory on your return false cases. | |
