 What pointer type is used to implement the heterogeneous linked list in C? Void pointer type used, The heterogeneous linked list contains different data types in it's nodes and we need a link, pointer, to connect them. Since we can't use ordinary pointers for this, we use the void pointer. Void pointer is a generic pointer type, and capable of storing pointer to any type.     |

 Re: What pointer type is used to implement the heterogeneous linked list in C? hi this also reason for using it... The heterogeneous linked list contains different data types in its nodes and we need a link, pointer to connect them. It is not possible to use ordinary pointers for this. So we go for void pointer. Void pointer is capable of storing pointer to any type as it is a generic pointer type. |
