C Quiz – 108 | Question 2

Anyone of the followings can be used to declare a node for a singly linked list. If we use the first declaration, “struct node * nodePtr;” would be used to declare pointer to a node. If we use the second declaration, “NODEPTR nodePtr;” can be used to declare pointer to a node.

/* First declaration */
struct node {
int data;
struct node * nextPtr;
};

/* Second declaration */
typedef struct node{
int data;
NODEPTR nextPtr;
} * NODEPTR;

(A) TRUE
(B) FALSE


Answer: (B)

Explanation: The typedef usage is incorrect. Basically, we can’t use yet to be typedef-ed data type inside while applying typedef itself. Here, NODEPTR is yet to be defined (i.e. typedef-ed) and we are using NODEPTR inside the struct itself.
