    linked list source code errors

    i recently was learning about linked lists using example code from this site.
    here is the code:
    Code:
    struct node
    {
      int x;
      node *next;
    };
    int main()
    {
      node *root; //This won't change, or we would lose the list in memory
      node *conductor; //This will point to each node as it traverses
    				   //the list
      root=new node; //Sets it to actually point to something
      root->next=NULL; //Otherwise it would not work well
      root->x=12;
      conductor=root; //The conductor points to the first node
      if(conductor!=NULL)
      {
        while(conductor->next!=NULL)
        {
          conductor=conductor->next;   
        }
      }
      conductor->next=new node; //Creates a node at the end of the list
      conductor=conductor->next; //Points to that node
      conductor->next=NULL; //Prevents it from going any further
      conductor->x=42;
    }
    i was wondering how / where do i edit this code so i can accept user input that then is placed in the list. i have tried various ways but it never works.

    also where do i put the code to print out the linked list
    Code:
    conductor=root;
    if(conductor!=NULL) //Makes sure there is a place to start
    {
      while(conductor->next!=NULL)
      {
        cout<<conductor->x;
        conductor=conductor->next;
      }
      cout<<conductor->x;
    }
    i am very confused can anyone help me out please.

    thanx

    Prehaps this thread might help you:

    If you own a piece of land and there is an volcano on it and it ruins a
    nearby town, do you have to pay for the property damage?
