Thread: Linked List

I am currently learning linked list and our proff gave us this code but I can't seem to compile it, what's the problem here?

Code:

#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>

struct node
{
       int x;
       struct node *next;
       };
       
       int main()
       {
          struct node *root;
          struct node *conductor;
          conductor=root;
          root = malloc(sizeof(struct node));
          root->next=0;
          root->x=5;
       
           while(conductor->next!=0);
           {
              printf("%d",conductor->x);
              conductor=conductor->next;
                                       
                                       }

           system("pause");
           }

I can't seem to print the value of x :| why is it like that?
