I believe the error has something to do with my mergeArray function. Its a modified version of the insertNode function. i tried to make it so that i can loop through and insert an entire array of elements into a linkedList. My program compiles without error but gives me a "cygwin wedge2: process died on signal 11." message when i try to run. please HELP!!!!

Thank you

Your program compiled and ran ok for me using VC++ 2010 Express on 64-bit Windows 7. Here's the output I got, but I don't know if it's right or wrong.

There's a glitch at least in mergeArray() , if head is NULL , you end up doing head->next = newNode; -- I believe you know how to fix that.

commented: Thnx so much +2

instead should I do

head = newNode;

?

thanks i got it working in my compiler... i cant believe that it was such a simple error.
