how to create a linked list code example

Example 1: how to make a linked list in c

typedef struct node{
    int value; //this is the value the node stores
    struct node *next; //this is the node the current node points to. this is how the nodes link
}node;

node *createNode(int val){
    node *newNode = malloc(sizeof(node));
    newNode->value = val;
    newNode->next = NULL;
    return newNode;
}

Example 2: doubly linked list example

//insert link at the first location
void insertFirst(int key, int data) {

   //create a link
   struct node *link = (struct node*) malloc(sizeof(struct node));
   link->key = key;
   link->data = data;
	
   if(isEmpty()) {
      //make it the last link
      last = link;
   } else {
      //update first prev link
      head->prev = link;
   }

   //point it to old first link
   link->next = head;
	
   //point first to new first link
   head = link;
}
