Is there a way to find out how much memory a linked list takes up?

Count the number of items in the list, multiply by the size of a single item. That should do it unless you allocate memory inside of each item, then you'd have to save that and read it later.

how do I find the memory that a single node takes up?
sizeof(struct node);
or
sizeof(*head);
or anything equivalent.

thanks for your help
It's the same value to passed to the malloc() function when you created said node.Originally posted by AmazingRando

When all else fails, read the instructions.
