Also another concept what exactly the difference between current and current->link in singly linked list?

May be they provide same data if same data is stored, but these are different locations i.e. if current->data is data at current node then current->link->data would be data of next node. as shown in figure. 

struct node
{
struct node *link;
int          data;
};

Consider a typical node of singly linked list, as mentioned above. The member link points to NULL initially but later on it points to some other node. Consider a linked list with some preinserted node.

And also another concept what exactly the difference between current and current->link in singly linked list?

current is pointer to current node while current->link is pointer to next node to current node.
