creation of first node in linked list

A linked list is a set of dynamically allocated nodes, arranged in such a way that each node contains one value and one pointer. The pointer always points to the next member of the list. If the pointer is NULL, then it is the last node in the list. ... If that pointer is also NULL, then the list is considered to be empty.

paste it and run this code..

//defining a datatype
struct node
//'struct' is keyword and 'node' is a tag
{
int data;
struct node *next;
};
struct node *head=0;

int main()
{

int *newnode;

newnode=(struct node*)malloc(sizeof(struct node));//malloc returns a void pointer so we have to pointer cast

printf("enter the data");//asking of data
scanf("%d",&newnode->data);//pasting the element at data part
newnode->next=0;
head=newnode;
