Need examples of menu choices contected to linked lists

[RenFromPenn]

Hi,

I need to create a menu of items that the user can select from. These choices will either create a linked list, add an item to the linked list, modify a current entry in the list, delete an entry, display the list, or exit the program.

I have looked every where for some examples to help me with this and I have found nothing. I googled. I searched c tutorials. I looked every where that I could think of with no luck. Does anyone know of a few good examples that I could look at to try and piece this thing together?

Thanks!

And your point being what?
That sometimes no matter how much you google, that you can't find a ready-rolled answer?

What ever happened to trying your own homework.

I imagine the point is to see who's learnt something, not who's got the best google skills.

No, my point wasn't that I wanted the answer. My point was that I wanted examples and tutorials because I can't find anything helpful and the book isn't helping me to figure this out.

I never said that I wanted the answer handed to me. I just wanted some help.

Have you first tried to learn how linked lists work?

Yeah, I've read the book and I've read explanations online. The book has some sample programs for you to mess about with, but nothing like the the one that I described. I just really need a good tutorial to help me get my head around this. Surely there has to be a site that talks about linked lists, user selections, and that offers exercises so that I could get some practice.

Oh come on, any half-assed attempt at a linked list tutorial should tell you how to insert and delete an element.

As for the rest of the "problem", that's just generic menu selection consisting of
- print a number of choices (printf)
- input a choice (scanf)
- do the thing associated with the choice (if/else or a switch/case)

Now, what exactly is it that you're stuck on?

And how exactly are we supposed to know what you need help with, unless you post some kind of effort?

Because unless you do, then anything we do for you is precisely spoon-feeding, and something which you're claiming you don't want.

What makes you think, that broken code is going to be of any help to anyone?

Obviously, you have chosen to not read about the expected conduct for this forum. Please, do, here and here, with an example here.

If you still, choose to ignore them, abstain of posting; it will be the best help you can give.
