It means, you request system to allocate some memory (using malloc) the size of the allocated memory is just about the number of bytes it is needed to create a node structure. Then you cast the address of memory block allocated to a pointer of a node structure which you then assign to a variable named n. Hth, cmiiw

It's the same as: n = new struct node;
