I know how to write one in Pascal, but I'm having some trouble in C++.
My basic problem is that I have a function, InsertNode(ListNode *List,
i) that adds a new node with data value I to the end of a current
list.  Here is the code:

void InsertNode(ListNode *List, int i)
{
 ListNode *Temp;

 if (List == NULL)
   {
    Temp = (ListNode *)malloc(sizeof(ListNode));
    Temp->data = i;
    Temp->Next = NULL;
    List = Temp;
   }
 else
   InsertNode(List->Next, i);

}

Everything works fine, however, when the function exits, the variable
that I had originally passed to InsertNode remains unchanged.  How
would I do this??
