Insert a Node at the Tail of a Linked List - data-structures

Question

Node* Insert(Node *head,int data)
{
Node *current=head;
Node *new=(Node *)malloc(size0f(Node));
new->data=data;
while(current->next!=NULL)
{
current=current->next;
}
current->next=new;
new->next=NULL;
return head;
}
Error:
solution.cc: In function 'Node* Insert(Node*, int)':

Answer 1

I think new is a keyword and you are trying to use that as a variable name in
`Node *new=(Node *)malloc(size0f(Node));`
and subsequent code.
Try replacing it with something like newNode, like below
`Node *newNode=(Node *)malloc(size0f(Node));`
And then use newNode in subsequent code instead of new

Answer 2

I guess #vmachan is right, you shouldn't use new as a variable name.
Besides, I think you were looking for sizeof instead of size0f?
