Hashing code, stupid homework

readfile

FILE * fp = fopen("woorden.txt","rb");
    
    char tempBuffer[35];
   while(fgets(tempBuffer,sizeof(tempBuffer),fp)!=NULL)
    {
        //we found a word.Let's assume its shorter than 35 characters and we can safe some space
        
        int length = strlen(tempBuffer);
        word = malloc(length*sizeof(char));
        strncpy(word,tempBuffer,length);
        if(word[length-1]=='\n')
            word[length-1] = '\0';
        else
            word[length]='\0';
        //put it in the hashlist

        unsigned int hashcode = hashCode(word);
        int index = hashcode%HASHARRAYSIZE;
        
        ELEMENT* newNode = malloc(sizeof(ELEMENT));
        newNode->next = hashArray[index];

        hashArray[index] = newNode;
    }
    fclose(fp);
