Re: [Dev-C++] C++ Linked Lists and Add After

[Michal M. <mol...@se...>]

There are two additional errors:
1) As already pointed out by Per, you are using a_word instead of
word_after in the condition, so the line:
if(currNode -> word == a_word)
should be:
if (strcmp(currNode -> word, word_after) == 0)

2) The infinite loop is because when you found the word you do not
change the currNode so the
while(currNode != NULL)
never becames true. Using break is correct solution you just have to put 
it right before the else part:
if (strcmp(currNode -> word, word_after) == 0)
{
assign_new_node(newNode);
nextNode = currNode ->ptr_to_next_node;
currNode ->ptr_to_next_node = newNode;
newNode ->ptr_to_next_node = nextNode;
strncpy(newNode->word, a_word, MAX_WORD_LENGTH);
break; // HERE
}
else
currNode = currNode -> ptr_to_next_node;
}
(You can as well do currNode = NULL; instead of the break or use return 
in this case.)
