In C language, the method of adding a node to a linked list is done through the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a structure to represent a node, which includes a data member and a pointer member that points to the next node. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    struct<\/span> Node<\/span> {<\/span>\r\n    int<\/span> data;\r\n    struct<\/span> Node<\/span>* next<\/span>;<\/span>\r\n};\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
      \n
    1. Create a new node and allocate memory for it. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      struct<\/span> Node<\/span>* newNode<\/span> =<\/span> (struct<\/span> Node*)malloc<\/span>(sizeof<\/span>(struct<\/span> Node));\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
        \n
      1. Assigning a new value to a new node. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
        newNode->data = 10<\/span>;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
          \n
        1. Point the next pointer of the new node to the head node of the linked list. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
          newNode->next = head;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
            \n
          1. Set the new node as the new head node of the linked list. For example:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
            head = newNode;\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
            The complete example code is provided below:<\/p>\n
            #include<\/span> <stdio.h><\/span><\/span>\r\n#include<\/span> <stdlib.h><\/span><\/span>\r\n\r\nstruct<\/span> Node<\/span> {<\/span>\r\n    int<\/span> data;\r\n    struct<\/span> Node<\/span>* next<\/span>;<\/span>\r\n};\r\n\r\nvoid<\/span> insert<\/span>(struct<\/span> Node** head, int<\/span> data)<\/span> {\r\n    struct<\/span> Node<\/span>* newNode<\/span> =<\/span> (struct<\/span> Node*)malloc<\/span>(sizeof<\/span>(struct<\/span> Node));\r\n    newNode->data = data;\r\n    newNode->next = *head;\r\n    *head = newNode;\r\n}\r\n\r\nvoid<\/span> printList<\/span>(struct<\/span> Node* head)<\/span> {\r\n    struct<\/span> Node<\/span>* temp<\/span> =<\/span> head;\r\n    while<\/span> (temp != NULL<\/span>) {\r\n        printf<\/span>(\"%d \"<\/span>, temp->data);\r\n        temp = temp->next;\r\n    }\r\n    printf<\/span>(\"\\n\"<\/span>);\r\n}\r\n\r\nint<\/span> main<\/span>()<\/span> {\r\n    struct<\/span> Node<\/span>* head<\/span> =<\/span> NULL<\/span>;\r\n\r\n    insert(&head, 10<\/span>);\r\n    insert(&head, 20<\/span>);\r\n    insert(&head, 30<\/span>);\r\n\r\n    printList(head);\r\n\r\n    return<\/span> 0<\/span>;\r\n}\r\n<\/code><\/pre>\n
            This code will create a linked list with nodes containing the values 10, 20, and 30, and print out the contents of the list: 30 20 10.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
