Self-referential Structures

To realise a "chain of elements", need a node containing
  • a value
  • a link to the next node
To represent a chained (linked) list of nodes:
  • we need a pointer to the first node
  • each node contains a pointer to the next node
  • the next pointer in the last node is NULL
