Answer 1

@wio HI

Answer 2

but i have to extract the buffer and put it into a linkedlist?

Answer 3

Is the buffer supposed to be a linked list?

Answer 4

The size of your pointers is going to be like 4 or 8 while the size of your characters is just 1, so linked lists have a ton of overhead.

Answer 5

Oh, ok. I see.

Answer 6

do i iterate through the text array?

Answer 7

Okay, so what I think you want to do here is you want to search for `'\n'`, and use pointer arithmetic to find how many characters are on the line.
Malloc that amount of characters and insert them into the list.

Answer 8

Let me think about this for a bit

Answer 9

ok

Answer 10

I think we want to create a helper function for this

Answer 11

what's a helper function?

Answer 12

It's just a function that does a simpler task

Answer 13

We want to create a function `addLine(TB tb, char* start, int length)`

Answer 14

In this function we will
1. Malloc a char array the size of length (+1 for '\0')
2. Copy from line into our malloc array into this new char array
3. Point our textbuffer at this malloc array

Answer 15

I have a question... do you know any more details about how TB should work?

Answer 16

It says something about Query functions

Answer 17

ye that's the other functions

Answer 18

I would sort of like to know what functions you need to implement so that I can help you design it.
