Thread: How to link next node in linked list

I am looking help to change function in my code. currently function create node, assign data to node but it doesn't link node to next node in list

Code:

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


struct node 
{
    int data;
    struct node *nextNode;
};


void addNode(int value )
{
    struct node *newNode = NULL;
    
    newNode = malloc (sizeof(*newNode)); 
    
    if (newNode != NULL)
    {
        newNode -> data = value;
        
        newNode -> nextNode = NULL;
    }
}


int main() 
{


    addNode( 2 );
    
    return 0;
}

I know This line doesn't point to address of next node

Code:

 newNode -> nextNode = NULL;

can anyone explain theoritically what I need to link next node in linked list ?
