Thanks

Code:

strcpy(node->phone, new_phone);
strcpy(node->name,  new_name);

Are you asking about the actual editing process or going to a specific place in the stack?

You can traverse through the list and let a pointer point to the node which you want to change. Then you can change the attributes of that note.

Code:

if (list_pointer->key == requested_key)
{
    list_pointer->item = new_value_for_item;
}
