Question

hey there, Im having problems displaying my results in this program but the program compiles. Any idea as to what is going wrong?. The purpose of the program is to take two, 2 by 2 matrixes and add them to create the matrix called result. but when it comes to displaying the values in each matrix (A,B and result) it hangs. why does at the search(A,0,0) call?

-thanks

I’m assuming that this is homework. How is the loop going to end if current does not meet either of the two conditions you check. You need to set current to the next node of the list at some point.

 while (current != NULL){
        if (current == NULL){break;
        }
        if ( (current->row == srow) && (current->column == scol) ){
            display(current,srow,scol,current->value); //call to display
        }
    }
