Where does it break?

The problem looks like it is similar to this one:
http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/161549/
at line 32 head->prev = newNode;
I'm almost certain line 27 needs to be == rather than just one =.

On line 27 with just 1 equals sign, you assign head to NULL. Then the if condition evaluates NULL, which will be false. Then line 32 tries to access a member variable of a NULL pointer.
lmao yeah that's my only error. Thank you!
