yes. But C strings are much more cumbersome to use in some instances. It's more important that you're not using cin and cout.

okay
thanx for the quick reply smile
and what about using new node() instead of malloc
is new node() also too slow??

That depends on what you mean by node()

Generally allocating memory on the fly is costly. If it cannot be avoided then it will be ok.
