I'm having problem with passing argument to the linked list.
I wait for user input then I parse this user input and put parsed tokens into dynamic array (char **c)
After that I need to write ceratin user input into linked list (for example I need to pass c[1] to the linked list)
And this process repeats in a while loop until user enters "exit" (so user will be asked for another input and then I need to parse it again and so on)
But after the first loop (user entered input, I parsed it then send c[1] and c[2] the linked list) I do parsing of the string again and then again I send c[1] and c[2] to the linked list. My linked list however overwrites all previous valus to the new ones and then adds new node with the new values so all my nodes now have the same value.
I just started learning c month ago, so I probably there is a problem with pointers or maybe it's linked list, even though I wrote this linked list in c++ and now I converted it to there could me some mistakes after my conversion. I also tested my linked list with just passing regular arguments not from dynamic array and it's seem to work fine.
