The first one is a structure containing one int and a pointer to another structure of the same kind.
The second one is quite useless because you only have a pointer to one (probably the first node of a linked list or the head of a BST) node inside it.
You can use the following code instead, because it makes more sense:
Code:struct node { int a; struct node *next; }; struct node *head;

It wouldn't be useless if he put, say, a "tail" pointer in there as well. Don't knock something just because it looks redundant -- it could be that way because of an intention to expand it later, or it might have contained other stuff in the past which has since been removed, etc...Originally Posted by mog
Here's a better idea: You tell us what you think the difference is, and we'll tell you if you are right.

Im not knocking anything away.
Even the most useless thing would be useful if you put some useful stuff in it..
I donīt really see the point of replying to me with that.
