simple question

Can anyone tell me how I can create an array of linked lists?

Create an array of pointers and let each pointer point to the start of a linked list.

How do I do that ???

I don't know, but maybe something like this?

Code:

/* For improving code readability */
typedef struct node *list_ptr;
typedef struct node *node_ptr;

/* Also for improving code readability */
typedef enum
{
    FIRST_LIST,
    SECOND_LIST,
    NR_OF_LISTS
} list_index;

/* The basic element of a list */
struct node
{
    int some_useful_data;
    node_ptr next_node;
};

/* Some lists */
list_ptr list1;
list_ptr list2;

/* An array of lists */
list_ptr array_of_lists [NR_OF_LISTS];

/* Filling the array */
array_of_lists [FIRST_LIST] = list1;
array_of_lists [SECOND_LIST] = list2;

??? You have really lost me....can that be done more easily...that all seems way beyond me
