$ ./simplespell
Opening default file
I AM BEFORE THE WHILE LOOP.
HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.
we have a line.
HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.
we have a line.
HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.
we have a line.
HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.
we have a line.
HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.
we have a line.
HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.

HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.
CONTINUES FROM HERE FOREVERI believe the problem is this
while(1){
printf("HELP I'M IN A WHILE LOOP.\n");
buildTrie(nodeStart, fgets(line, MAXLENGTH, inputfile));
}
return 0;I am trying to get lines until the end of the file, and pass the char array via pointer into the buildTrie function. How can I improve this?
