Adding and subtracting bigtins using linked lists

Question

I almost finished this task, and it killed me. This is my THIRD post on three different sections of this, and I'm honestly confused that I struggle a lot with the task.

The very purpose is to create a program that does the addition and subtraction of large integers using linked lists (and I gradually start to hate linked lists, outside of Lisp). Everything seems to be working now, except for the actual addition and subtraction. I'm not sure if these are arithmetic functions, because they were a bit of a job (but never 100%), but that doesn’t stop checking with the S / O community (usually I don’t ask for help with this task because I prefer to figure it out on my own, but it was a terrible and stressful week, and the deadline is fast approaching).

The arithmetic functions I wrote are as follows: can someone help me choose what is wrong?

/*
 * Function add
 *
 * @Paramater STRUCT* Integer
 * @Parameter STRUCT* Integer
 *
 * Takes two linked lists representing
 * big integers stored in reversed order,
 * and returns a linked list containing
 * the sum of the two integers.
 *
 * @Return STRUCT* Integer
 * 
 * TODO Comment me
 */
struct integer* add( struct integer *p, struct integer *q )
{
    int carry = 0;

    struct integer *sHead, *sCurr;
    struct integer *pHead, *qHead;

    pHead = p;
    qHead = q;

    sHead = NULL;

    while( p )
    {
        sCurr = ( struct integer* ) malloc (sizeof(struct integer));
        sCurr->digit = p->digit + q->digit + carry;
        sCurr->next = sHead;
        sHead = sCurr;

        carry = 0;

        /*
         * If the current digits sum to greater than 9,
         * create a carry value and replace the current
         * value with value mod 10.
         */
        if( sCurr->digit > 9 )
        {
            carry = 1;
            sCurr->digit = sCurr->digit % 10;
        }

        /*
         * If the most significant digits of the numbers
         * sum to 10 or greater, create an extra node
         * at the end of the sum list and assign it the
         * value of 1.
         */
        if( carry == 1 && sCurr->next == NULL )
        {
            struct integer *sCarry = ( struct integer* ) malloc (sizeof(struct integer));
            sCarry->digit = 1;
            sCarry->next = NULL;
            reverse( &sCurr );
            sCurr->next = sCarry;
            reverse( &sCurr );
        }

        p = p->next;
        if( q->next ) q = q->next; 
        else q->digit = 0; 
    }

    return sHead;
}

The sample output should look like this:

8888888888 + 2222222222 = 11111111110
10000000000 – 9999999999 = 1
10000000000 – 9999999999 = 1

but instead it looks like this:

8888888888 + 2222222222 = 1111111110
10000000000 - 9999999999 = 10000000001
10000000000 - 9999999999 = 10000000001

Answer 1

else q->digit = 0;
.

, const .

struct integer* add( const struct integer *p, const struct integer *q )
struct integer* subtract( const struct integer *p, const struct integer *q )

Answer 2

,

if( dCurr->next == NULL && carry == 1 )
{
    struct integer *dCarry = (struct integer*) malloc (sizeof(struct integer));
    dCarry->digit = -1;
    dCarry->next = NULL;
    dCurr->next = dCarry;
}

. dCurr->next , , NULL . , p->next.

, len(p) >= len(q). , - , ( p , q ). , . , p q .

, , - , . . , - : q , q p, , .

Answer 3

compare() "" p, .

int compare( struct integer *p, struct integer *q )
{
    /* ... */
    while( p )
    {
        pCount++;
        p = p->next;
    }

p NULL

    /* ... */
    while( p )
    {

    }
