/*Program to delete the nth Node from the Linked List*/

see the code piece here:

Solution

  • You forgot to add the name of the struct here:

    struct{
    int data;
    struct Node* next;
};

    It should be

    struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node* next;
};

    Another problem is that you use new which is a C++ operator to allocate memory. In C, use malloc or calloc to allocate memory. Don't forget to check is return value to check if was successful in allocating memory.

    Also, here

    if (temp1 ==1)

    You compare a pointer with an int. This is wrong. I don't know what you are trying to do here...
