this is a linked list assigment and the required from me is to fill the functions: i have one fucntion left that i was unable to do which is void DeleteElement(int ID);

and i have another problem the compiler states that i hve o errors but when i compile the program doesnt work will. so pls can u pls me thnx in advance

You also need to give us a much more detailed description of what the problem is.

first, you need to enclose the body of a case statement in curly braces if you want to delare a variable within the body of the case statement. The best answer why I can give you is "because".

The algorithm for deleting an arbitrary node from a singly linked list is to find the desired node and the node before the desired node (unless of course the desired node is the first node). Then assign desired->next to previous->next and delete the desired node.
