What is a head node?
Considering this, what is head node in linked list?
A linked list is a linear data structure where each element is a separate object. Each element (we will call it a node) of a list is comprising of two items - the data and a reference to the next node. The last node has a reference to null. The entry point into a linked list is called the head of the list.
- Create a class Node which has two attributes: data and next. Next is a pointer to the next node in the list.
- Create another class InsertStart which has two attributes: head and tail.
- addAtStart() will add a new node to the beginning of the list:
Regarding this, what is a node in it?
A node is a device or data point in a larger network. In computer science, nodes are devices or data points on a large network, devices such a PC, phone, or printer are considers nodes.
Node can be created in a linked list dynamically by using malloc() function in C or it can be done by using 'new' keyword as well as malloc() in c++. Before that you have to define a new data type (Node) using structure and then you can create function to Insert new node to the link list.
