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) Last edited by andor; Oct 23rd, 2006 at 8:50 am.

>>int getCount(char word)
that should be like this
>>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.
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.

Your probably right -- he has not written a function that calls getCount() yet.

i finally got it right my mistake was here:
it should be:
