Graphical Representation of Data Structure Algorithms

Insert Operation

Operation: Inserting a new node with the value 5 at the beginning of the list.

Starting List

Step-by-Step Explanation:

● Step 1: Create a New Node


o Action: Create a new node that contains the value (5)
o Annotation: This step is crucial because it allows us to dynamically add data to
our linked list without needing a predefined size.

Step 2: Link New Node to the Current Head

● Action: Set the Next pointer of the new node to point to the current head (which is the
node with value 3).
● Annotation: Linking the new node to the existing list is essential for maintaining the
sequential structure of the linked list.

Step 3: Update the Head Pointer

● Action: Update the head pointer to point to the new node.


● Annotation: The head pointer is the entry point for accessing the list. By updating it to
the new node, we ensure that our list starts with the most recently added element.

Final List After Insertion:

Update Operation
Operation: Updating the node containing the value 7 to 10.

Starting List:

Step 1: Start Traversal from Head


● Action: Start at the head of the list.
● Annotation: This is the starting point for any operation on a linked list. It ensures we
have access to the entire list structure.

Step 2: Traverse the List

● Action: Move through the list by following the Next pointers:


o Check the node with value 5 (not 7).
o Move to the node with value 3 (still not 7).
o Finally, reach the node with value 7.
● Annotation: This step highlights the linear traversal nature of singly linked lists, where
we cannot access nodes randomly like in an array.

● Step 3: Update the Node’s Data


o Action: Change the value of the found node from 7 to 10.
o Annotation: Updating data in a node is straightforward since we only modify the
data field and don’t have to change any pointers.

Final List After Update:

Delete Operation
Operation: Deleting the node containing the value 3.

Initial State

Starting List:

Step 1: Start Traversal from Head

● Action: Start from the head and find the node just before the one to be deleted (node with
value 5).
● Annotation: Identifying the previous node is crucial for adjusting pointers correctly and
maintaining the integrity of the list.
Step 2: Traverse the List

● Action: Move through the list by following the Next pointers until reaching the node with
value 3.
● Annotation: Similar to the update operation, we cannot skip directly to the desired node;
we must traverse from the head.

Step 3: Adjust the Pointer of the Previous Node


● Action: To delete the node with value 3, update the Next pointer of the node with value 5
to skip over the node with value 3 and point directly to the node with value 10.
Before Adjustments

After Adjustments

Annotation: This pointer adjustment is critical; it ensures the list remains connected without the
deleted node. If not done correctly, we would lose access to parts of the list.
Final List After Deletion

Synopsis of Important Actions and Choices


Insert Operation:
generating a new node in real time.
keeping the integrity of the list intact by linking the new node.
The head pointer is being updated to reflect the new beginning node.

Update Operation:
Finding the desired node by going through the list.
altering the node's data while keeping pointers unchanged.

Delete Operation:
locating the prior node so that it can be adjusted.
updating pointers with care to keep the list consistent.
