Insertion at the beginning of the Singly linked lists

Step 1. Create a new node and assign the address to any node say ptr.
Step 2. OVERFLOW,IF(PTR = NULL)
	   	write : OVERFLOW and EXIT.
Step 3. ASSIGN INFO[PTR] = ITEM
Step 4. IF(START = NULL) 
	    	ASSIGN NEXT[PTR] = NULL
       	 ELSE 
         	ASSIGN NEXT[PTR] = START
Step 5. ASSIGN START = PTR
Step 6. EXIT    

Insertion at the front of list

void insertion(struct node *nw)
{
	struct node start, *previous, *new1;
	nw = start.next;
	previous = &start;
	new1 = (struct node* ) malloc(sizeof(struct node));
	new1->next = nw ;
	previous->next = new1;
	printf("\n Input the fisrt node value: ");
	scanf("%d", &new1->data);
}
