I saw this piece of code :
struct node {
int data;
struct node* next;
};
I also saw this piece of code:
struct node {
int data;
node* next;
};
What are the differences, and advantages/disadvantages between the two?

7The first version is valid in both C and C++, while the second is only valid in C++. – DeiDei Jun 13 '17 at 21:51

@DeiDei: The 2nd version can be made to work in C with a little `typedef` or a forward declaration – Zakir Jun 13 '17 at 21:58

No appreciable difference. Advantage: Less typing in the `struct`-less version. – user4581301 Jun 13 '17 at 22:08
