How does the struct function work in C?

Question

C++ / C#

In principle, I understand how this function works, but I encountered a "misunderstanding" when creating a Linked list, here is the code:

typedef struct node 
{
     int n;
     struct node* next;
}
node;

Explain on the fingers - how it works?
In particular, I can't understand how the line works . I understand the first line, an int variable with the name n is declared, I also understand how to use it, for example -struct node* next;

node number;
number.n = 3;

Answer 1

Generally, this data type declaration is a structure. There is a description of working with structures - here
String is the declaration of a member of a structure of the pointer type, to data of the same type of structure. struct node* next;
