Things Not To Do with Linked Lists in C Programming

Losing the head pointer in a linked list can lead to memory leaks as you lose access to dynamically allocated memory that can only be freed via the head pointer.

When removing a node from a linked list, ensure to properly update the links of neighboring nodes to maintain the integrity of the list.

Always check that the next node is not NULL before accessing it to avoid segmentation faults.

When deleting nodes, always ensure you free the nodes to avoid memory leaks.

Using different node types within the same list can lead to confusion and data handling errors. Maintain uniform node structures.
