c++ Linked List with multiple pieces of data

Question

We're going over linked lists in my class right now. Unfortunately, it's an online class. The only thing the prof is good for is grading, and I can't find the answer in my book. I would like to know if you could create a linked list with multiple pieces of data like this.

struct node{
    char grade
    string student        
    node *next
};

node *newNode;

newNode = new node;
newNode->student = "Jake";
newNode->grade = 'D';//Cause I don't like Jake
newNode->next = NULL;

Answer 1

Yes. You could have as many types of data in a linked list as you'd need.

struct node{
    char grade
    string student        
    node *next
    typeOfData typeVariableName;
};

node *newNode;

newNode = new node;
newNode->student = "Jake";
newNode->typeVariableName = /*anything could go here*/;
newNode->grade = 'D';
newNode->next = NULL;
