    i have a problen in creating a linked list

    i have a head variable
    i initialize a temporary variable "t" wich holds the head
    and i do a for loop till the "t" variable reaches NULL
    in that case i do malloc and put my new values in the new node

    the problem is that its not working write from the start
    after the for loop ends (creating a second node)
    and i do malloc

    i look at the compiler and it shows me that the next node after head is NULL
    although i just now did malloc
    and even when i put values to "t"

    they next of the head is still NULL
    ??

    You need to move to the last node in the list, and then assign that node's next pointer to the one you just created. If you iterate through the loop until "t" reaches NULL, then you've gone too far.
