help with linked lists

[jyotis999]

Hi,

I want to add a new node at 5th position in a single linked list in C++.Please help me with this..as am new to linked list.

Do you mean std::list?

If you are writing a function to do the insert, keep in mind that you have to have a variable that knows where the items that go after the inserted item are located, so they will not be lost to the program

It's simple to do:

count =0;
listp = base;
while(listp = listp->next)
{
    count++;
    if (count==4) {
       temp = listp->next ;
       listp->next = node;
       node->next = temp;
    }
}

Of course that's not valid C and assumes stuff about the list structures, and needs more error checking...
