linked list

[princez90]

what's wrong with this coding?

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

typedef struct node{
        int num;        
        struct node *link;
}NODE;

int main (void){
    
    NODE *ptr1, *ptr2, *ptr3, *ptr4, *ptr5, *pList,*pCurr;
    
    ptr1 = (NODE *)malloc(sizeof(NODE));
    ptr1->num = 89;
    ptr2 = (NODE *)malloc(sizeof(NODE));
    ptr2->num = 75;
    ptr3 = (NODE *)malloc(sizeof(NODE));
    ptr3->num = 34;
    ptr4 = (NODE *)malloc(sizeof(NODE));
    ptr4->num = 22;
    ptr5 = (NODE *)malloc(sizeof(NODE));
    ptr5->num = 21;
    
    pList = ptr1;  //a head pointer points to the first node
    ptr1->link = ptr2;
    ptr2->link = ptr3;
    ptr3->link = ptr4;
    ptr4->link = ptr5;
    ptr5->link = NULL;
    

    //printf("&#37;d\t%d\t%d\t%d\t%d", pList->data, pList->link->data, pList->link->data, pList->link->data, pList->link->data);
    //or
    printf("\n");
    for(pCurr = pList; pCurr != NULL; pCurr = pCurr->link)
           printf("%d\t", pCurr->num); 
}

i'm trying to make a program that contains a linked list of five integer numbers and display it in linked list.. it turns out my program have too many errors.. what's the header file for malloc?

[princez90]

it's okay.. i knew it already.. the error is because i didn't use a header file for malloc.. it's #include <malloc.h>..

The proper header for malloc() is stdlib.h. I suppose if you have an ancient system you might need malloc.h, but try stdlib.h first. You also needn't cast the result of malloc() when you're using C.

And don't use conio.h (In fact you're not even using it)... just including it (which you shouldn't be).
