Structs

[iliya24]

Hello
This is very simple question i am trying to create a generic list
and i have seen some examples but,there is one issue that troubles me pls clear it for me

  private:
	struct node
	{
		T data;
		node * next;
	} NODE;

CAN U PLS EXPLAIN ME WHAT THE NODE is.i mean the lower case node is the name of this struct right?if so what the Upercase NODE is?
Thx

That one is creating an object called NODE

It is the same thing as not putting it there then on your main function you put this

int main()
{
    node NODE;
}
