    Well I suppose it depends if your loop is circular or not. Does your last node point to your first node? If so, you'll be fine, you'll just end up looping through the whole list. You'll still have the problem with the passed list being NULL though.

    The last node points to null and when the program reaches there it stops looping [ while(current != NULL) ]. Maybe this is not the answer you asked for but I will stop working with this program now, because If I continue, I will confuse myself again

    The difference between people who become real programmers and people who just want to get a passing grade in a class, is that the later are prefectly happy to remain ignorant.

    You currently have no way of deleting the first node of the list. You can delete every other item though, so I suppose you'll just get your passing mark.
