CODE

myMethod(int someNumber);    //function prototype

int main() {

    // bla bla bla
    int response;
    cin >> response;
   myMethod(response); //pass response as a parameter to this method

}

int myMethod(int number){

   //performs some crap on the parameter and returns an int or whatever
}

Yes, although they are the same thing. someNumber is the parameter supplied in the prototype (inexplicably then renamed number in the definition). response is input taken from the user, then supplied as a parameter to the function myMethod().

Let me introduce you a friend: google. If you write wiki as the first term of your search and then the thing you are looking for in this field, you can start using the I'm feeling lucky button.

anyway: Linked list

I know. the problem being my english is not dat good yet, so I'm having trouble reading one-whole-page article. and I'm also new to programming, only 4 months experience learning C, tho I can read simple C++ program. thanx for giving the link, but I dont understand most of the scientific term wiki use, and I dont understand the C program written at the tail end of the article.

[rant]all my subjects in university is in japanese. imagine learning high-level syllabus with ur language-level still of primary school level. imagine reading university-level book with ur language-level still of primary school level[\rant]

sort of explaining y I have those problem, eh? not that I dont make the effort, but its very difficult due to my environment.
