Thread: linked list

Please can you help with my lniked list I've got a node declared and passed to function
append_nodes wihtin main, Then in that function I input the elements for the node and assign the
next pointer to a new node and test for memory.

I'm not sure where to put my while loop to build new nodes and to include there input and test for memory
I know where it is now is not possible I've only included it to show what I think I need in my loop.


[code]

int main()
{
node *top=new node;

append_nodes(top);

}


void append_nodes(struct node *append)
{

while()
{
cout<<"Enter persons name >";
cin>>append->name;

cout<<'\n'<<"Enter persons age >";
cin>>append->age;

append->next=new node;

if(next==NULL)
abort();
}

}

[\code]

thanks for the help.
