I have been trying to solve this for many days to no avail. It seems other many people have had similar problems with this pset, but when reading their questions, I had difficulty understanding what exactly went wrong with their code.
My valgrind output gives me this:
==10008== HEAP SUMMARY:
==10008== in use at exit: 3,865,120 bytes in 17,255 blocks
==10008== total heap usage: 367,084 allocs, 349,829 frees, 82,227,504 bytes allocated

My program's outputs are correct--the only problem is the memory leak as far as I can tell. I've uploaded dictionary.c to Pastebin here: https://pastebin.com/JYNw45C1
Please note that some of the line numbers given by valgrind may be slightly off as I have deleted some variables I used for my own testing.
The majority of the work in load() is being done in the insert() function, which takes a char array as input and puts it character by character into the trie. Meanwhile, the majority of the work in unload() is being done by makeEmpty(), which is a recursive function that frees a node and all of its chilren. Please let me know if there is anything else I can clarify.
Thank you!
