Separating a List: What to Do After Deallocating?

[mathmari]

Hey!

When I have to delete a list from an array of linked-lists, do I have to delete all the nodes of the list? Or do I have to do also something at the array??

There is a list, I have to separate this list into two others and delete the initial list from the array.

I used a function to deallocate the list. What else should I do?? (Wondering)

Hi! (Blush)

To destroy everything cleanly, we should iterate over the array, and iterate over each list in the array, deallocating the nodes as we go. Then the corresponding entry in the array should be set to NULL to indicate there is no list attached to it anymore. (Nerd)

There is nothing else to do with the array (assuming it was not dynamically allocated).
