#2

@meg.2198 this is pointer for linked list node of class linklist which initially pointing to null.
basically a linklist is consist of 2 part node which one contain value and next one is stores an address of next node

#3

Hi Meghna, usually the node class contains two members, data to be stored in the node which is of integer type and *next which is a pointer of node type and which points to the next node in a linked list. It stores the address of the next node. For example, consider the following linked list:
2->3->NULL
Suppose the node 2 is at an address 1k and node 3 is at an address 5k, so the *next of 2 will store the address of next node i.e. 5k and the *next of 3 will store the address of its next node which is NULL in this case.
