Lists

I have something to ask you . I am stucked in a serius project of C programming. i have to do the following :

You will need two data structures for the program:
- A cross-list which stores the words of the dictionary.
In a node that stores a word list
- A cross-list that stores categories (equivalence classes) words.
In a node of this list is stored:
- The representative of the class
- The number of words that belong in this category.
- A dynamic array of indicators tied to the words of this class (as
stored in list-dictionary.

any help?

If you are going to need to search the list of words quickly, I'd declare a hash map structure to store the list of words and the data that is associated with each word. And within the data structure, I'd use a dynamic array structure for the array of indicators and the category list.

You could use a library such as Apache's APR library, that already has a lot of this code (hashes, dynamic arrays etc.) implemented for you and it is cross-platform as well. See http://apr.apache.org/ for details.

hmmm i am actually writing C in Opensuse linux. can you give me an example of code? i want to see some code in order to understand, if you can of course.
