i have this line of code and want to compare the word from the linked list with the one supplied by user.
the code is:
if (strcmp(p->word,word)==0)and i am having this error:
passing `char' to argument 2 of `strcmp(const char *, const char *)' lacks a cast
post the declaration of variable word. It should be
char word[some_value];
or
char *word;
post your code
herer is the code of the list:
struct doc_words
{
char words[30];
struct doc_words *next;
};and the code of the function:
int getCount(char word)
{
int count=0;
struct doc_words *p = head;
while (p!=NULL)
{
if (strcmp(p->words,word)==0)
{
count++;
p=p->next;
}
else
{
p=p->next;
}
}
return(count);
}word is a single char and strcmp takes char *. So you need to pas strcmp(p->words,&word) as second parameter. Are you shore: int getCount(char word) is right. Becouse there are more sense if it was int getCount(char * word)
>>int getCount(char word)
that should be like this
int getCount(char* word)>>strcmp(p->words,&word)
that won't work either. strcmp() expects a null-terminated string. Just passing the address of word does not make it null-terminated.

I agree, my mistake. I didn't think just saw that strcmp accepts pointer to char. But how did he pass the whole string inside one char?!?
Ah I know the answer, he didn't.
>>Ah I know the answer, he didn't.
Your probably right -- he has not written a function that calls getCount() yet.
i finally got it right my mistake was here:
int getCount(char word)it should be:
int getCount(char word[30])We're a friendly, industry-focused community of developers, IT pros, digital marketers, and technology enthusiasts meeting, networking, learning, and sharing knowledge.
