{把 R1、R2、R3、R4 够建成一个环环相扣的"链", 这就是一个简单的"链表"}
procedure TForm1.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);

  R4.Name := '李四';
  R4.Age  := 16;
  R4.Link := nil;

  R3.Name := '张三';

  R2.Name := '钱二';

  R2.Link := @R3;

  R1.Name := '赵一';
  R1.Age  := 42;
  R1.Link := @R2;
end;

{现在 , 通过 R1 即可以访问整个链; 但这个链是单向的, 所以叫"单向链表"}    
procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShowMessage(R1.Name); {赵一}
  ShowMessage(R1.Link^.Name); {钱二}
  ShowMessage(R1.Link^.Link^.Name); {张三}
  ShowMessage(R1.Link^.Link^.Link^.Name); {李四}
end;

{通过结构指针读取数据可以省略 ^; 所以 Button1Click 可以简写为:}
procedure TForm1.Button2Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ShowMessage(R1.Name); {赵一}
  ShowMessage(R1.Link.Name); {钱二}
  ShowMessage(R1.Link.Link.Name); {张三}
  ShowMessage(R1.Link.Link.Link.Name); {李四}
end;
