    Here is a simple function in C language, that inserts a node at the tail of the list:

    SinglyLinkedListNode* insertNodeAtTail(SinglyLinkedListNode* head, int data) {
    SinglyLinkedListNode *newNode = (SinglyLinkedListNode *)malloc(sizeof(SinglyLinkedListNode));
    
    if(head == NULL){
        head = newNode;
        newNode->data = data;
        newNode->next = NULL;
        return head;
    }
    
    SinglyLinkedListNode *temp = head;
    while(temp->next != NULL) {
        temp = temp->next;
    }
    newNode ->data = data;
    temp->next = newNode;
    temp = newNode;
    newNode->next = NULL;
    
    return head;

}

    Here a java solution using recursion.

      static SinglyLinkedListNode insertNodeAtTail(SinglyLinkedListNode head, int data) {
        //create the new node
        if(head == null){
            SinglyLinkedListNode node = new SinglyLinkedListNode(data);
            return node;
        }
        //if the head.next is null, I will insert the new node there
        if(head.next == null)
            head.next = insertNodeAtTail(head.next, data);
        //move to the next    
        else    
            insertNodeAtTail(head.next, data);
        return head;
    }

    My Java solution with o(n) time complexity and o(1) space complexity:

    static SinglyLinkedListNode insertNodeAtTail(SinglyLinkedListNode head, int data) {
        if(head == null) return new SinglyLinkedListNode(data);
        
        SinglyLinkedListNode curr = head;
        while(curr.next != null) curr = curr.next;
        curr.next = new SinglyLinkedListNode(data);
        return head;
    }

    Here is my c++ solution, you can watch this video explanation here : https://youtu.be/zwvWP4YmsoM

    SinglyLinkedListNode* insertNodeAtTail(SinglyLinkedListNode* head, int data) {
    SinglyLinkedListNode* newNode = new SinglyLinkedListNode(data);
    if(head != nullptr) {
        SinglyLinkedListNode* curr = head;
        while(curr->next) curr = curr->next;
        curr->next = newNode;
        return head;
    }
    return newNode;
}

    A Python solution:

    def insertNodeAtTail(head, data):
    new_node = SinglyLinkedListNode(data)
    if head is not None:
        current = head
        while current.next:
            current = current.next
        current.next = new_node
        return head
    return new_node
