Least recently used (LRU) memory question

K

kkk

I am practicing LRU by writing a simulating programme in c, but
encounter a problem.

When obtaining data from a linked list (which stores the requested
page number), seemingly the programme falls into an infinite loop. I
guess that is because the object obtained through function get()
always remains the same. However, I have no idea how to solve it.
Would anyone is able to give me an hint?

I sincerely appreciate it.

code is as below:
