Declare a structure of a linked list

 









How to declare a structure of a linked list?













The right way of declaring a structure for a linked list in a C program is





struct node {

  int value;

  struct node *next;

};

typedef struct node *mynode;





Note that the following are not correct





typedef struct {

  int value;

  mynode next;

} *mynode;





The typedef is not defined at the point where the "next" field is declared.







struct node {

  int value;

  struct node next;

};

typedef struct node mynode;





You can only have pointer to structures, not the structure itself as its recursive!
