Except that she explicitly mentioned that is for a class and in that case
we should assume that the purpose of the class is to learn how to
implement a linked list.

Personally, I think it's good to help students with questions about course
work but you aren't doing them any favors if you write it for them.

You are assuming that she is using a compiler which has std streams. She
probably does but you never know.
