__.exe has stopped working

[Mishu]

when i run the following code in codeblocks or devc++,a window is displayed saying __.exe has stopped working..plz tell me if there's a solution to it

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct node
{
    int data;
    struct node *link;
};
typedef node *list;
void showList(list);

int main()
{
    list head,tail,temp;
    char ch;
    int dat;
    head=tail=NULL;
    cout<<"Enter Data?(y/n)"<<endl;
    cin>>ch;
    if(ch=='y' || ch=='Y')
    {
        tail=new node;
        cout<<"give data"<<endl;
        cin>>dat;
        tail->data=dat;
        tail->link=NULL;
        head=temp;
        cout<<"Enter more Data?(y/n)"<<endl;
        cin>>ch;
    }
     while(ch=='y' || ch=='Y')
    {
        tail=new node;
        cout<<"give data"<<endl;
        cin>>dat;
        tail->link=new node;
        tail->link->data=dat;
        tail->link->link=NULL;
        tail=tail->link;
        cout<<"Enter more Data?(y/n)"<<endl;
        cin>>ch;
    }
    showList(head);
}
void showList(list start)
    {
        while(start!=NULL)
        {
            cout<<start->data<<endl;
            start=start->link;
        }
    }

This head=temp; is the problem because temp is uninitialized.
I guess you want that: head=tail;

So better remove temp at all

Please use code tags: [code]Your code[/code]
See: http://www.cplusplus.com/articles/z13hAqkS/

thanks for the suggestion...it removed this error however my complete linked list is not getting printed..only the first element is being read..if any1 cud suggest me wat to do now

[coder777]

if you'd use code tags you'd get more feedback...

the problem is this:

tail=new node;

It overwrites tail while head still points to the old tail which is not changed at all. Just remove that line
