Thread: appeand node in list

I'm stuck with code shown in refrence link How to write C functions that modify head pointer of a Linked List?

Code:

voidpush_front(Node** head, int new_val){

    Node* new_node = newNode(new_val);

    new_node->next = (*head);



    *head = new_node;

}



intmain(){

    Node *head = NULL;

push_front(&head, 2);

}

Pointer hold memory location of other variable and we can obtain the value pointed by pointer using derefrencing

In code, function create new node I don't understand these two lines in code what does new node point in list and how does it point

Code:

  new_node->next = (*head);



    *head = new_node;
