In this line of code:

Node* insert(Node *head,int data)

What is the difference between Node* insert and Node *head?

Are they both pointers? And which is better?

You forgot `Node*insert` and `Node * insert`. – Peter - Reinstate Monica Jun 28 '20 at 18:19
`Node *head` is often the convention used in C, and `Node* head` is often the convention used in C++. In both C and C++ cases, the compiler doesn't care. – Eljay Jun 28 '20 at 18:19
It doesn't matter. Where you put the whitespace is completely irrelevant. The compiler doesn't care. – Jesper Juhl Jun 28 '20 at 18:27
