Output:

Enter the number of nodes: 5
Enter the data for node 1: 41
Enter the data for node 2: 25
Enter the data for node 3: 36
Enter the data for node 4: 96
Enter the data for node 5: 58

Linked list data: 
Linked List: 	41	25	36	96	58
Enter element you want to search: 36
Item found at location: 3
