Why am I getting this error: “data definition has no type or storage class”?

Question

#include 
#include 

struct NODE {
    char* name;
    int val;
    struct NODE* next;
};
typedef struct NODE Node;

Node *head, *tail;

Answer 1

You need to put your code inside a function:

#include 
#include 

struct NODE {
    char* name;
    int val;
    struct NODE* next;
};
typedef struct NODE Node;

main(){
    Node *head, *tail;
    head = (Node*) malloc( sizeof( Node ) ); //line 21
}

should work
