Returning a value.

[Parul Bagadia]

I m returning a value of pointer of a structure from one function to main; but whenever it comes in main it becomes NULL... i used another pointer in main and equated its value to returning pointer but its still becoming NULL. I also tried removing its initialization from main; but ivvain.
So, what is to be donr to retain its value? Actually i want to use the same value in other function; which m calling from main.

Dear Parul...

Please specify the from which function you are returning the pointer to main.

From struct dl merge(struct dl *p)function.

You are not returning a pointer, you are returning the dl struct pointed to by p. I'll check your code to see how you're treating the return value, but this might be a point of confusion.

I have discarded that return statement..
But now i have a diff. problem, here what i need to do is to print the merged list! If i use pointer z; it points only the last value....i know it travereses the list till end and goes till last value; but it was having links earlier in complete list.....
So, even if i take another pointer to traverse the list; it may come till end and will print nothing!
The two lists which m merging here are sorted..
I tried with making z local as well global;didnt work!; even tried with passing the value of sec which holds second list; but if i have a value from first list which is smallest; second list wont print it.
Although i assign links like that.
Same the case with ref;which holds first list.......; if i pass ref in display function; it wont print the small values of second list.
It's about Doubly Linked List.

Here is the code for reference!
void merge merges the two sorted lists; and dismerge print the two sorted lists.

i've skimmed through the code but i couldn't see any problems with it. but in line 16 you don't need else break. it will happen by it self if not the statement then go forward.
i need to test your code to find the problem i don't oknow why bytes removed it you were asking for help try to post it again they may not remove it.
let us see the hole code.

see you and good luck

Hey,
I read the rules and i though that it was Fine for someone to post full code if they are asking for help.
I thought the rule on the Full code posting was only for the experts, in not giving people the answer to eazy
