linked list node parsing

Wonder if anyone can explain the difference between the following two expressions to allocate a node. Both expressions work perfectly well in my code, but I don't understand the reasoning for the second version.

Code:

node *temp = malloc(sizeof(node));

    node *temp = (node *) malloc(sizeof(node));

C FAQ 7.7.

If you want to also compile the code as C++ you need the cast.
