 One tool that can be utilised for debugging is the gdb and make debug commands. Use the command make with the argument debug (typed as "make debug"), then run the gdb command with the executable you are debugging ("gdb ./executable"), then from the use "run {any arguments}" and it will show where your error has occured. Furthermore, with regards to debugging a specific unit test, you can make use of the tests in  sll0/unit/list/(unit test to debug). Here you will be able to compare your results with the expected results. (Unit tests are very useful!)
-An "errors" file is also made after running make default.  Checking through this may be helpful in figuring out what's going wrong if things aren't working. After running "make" your c code will be compiled, if errors are present the errors file as mentioned will prompt with a message after the compile looking like "*** There were warnings or errors during compile! Type: 'cat errors' at the prompt to view.". If you see this message, you can cat the file errors that is only available in the base sll0 directory, this file will display every error present while compiling all of the c files. You need to be careful because it shows every compile error so if many errors are present, it might be multiple files not just one, meaning there is most likely less errors than you think for the given file you are working on.
