- 2. Linked list linked list is a linear data structure. It contains nodes. Each node contains two parts, i.e. DATA part and LINK part. The data contains elements , and Link contains address of another node.
- 3. WHAT ARE LINKED LISTS A linked list is a linear data structure. Nodes make up linked lists. Nodes are structures made up of data and a pointer to another node. Usually the pointer is called next.
- 4. TYPES OF LINKED LISTS 1. Single linked list. 2. Double linked list. 3. Circular linked list. 4. Circular double linked list.
- 5. Singly Linked List Each node has only one link part. Each link part contains the address of the next node in the list. Link part of the last node contains NULL value which signifies the end of the node.
- 6. BASIC OPERATIONS ON A LIST Creating a List Inserting an element in a list Deleting an element from a list Searching a list Reversing a list
- 7. Deleting a Node in SLL Here also we have three cases:- Deleting the first node Deleting the last node Deleting the intermediate node
- 8. DELETING THE FIRST NODE Here we apply 2 steps:- Making the start pointer point towards the 2nd node. Deleting the first node using delete keyword.
- 9. void delete_from_first() { struct node* temp=head; head=head->next/temp->next; free(temp); }
- 10. Deleting the last node Here we apply 2 steps:- Making the second last node’s next pointer point to NULL. Deleting the last node via delete keyword.
- 11. void delete_from_last() { struct node *temp=head, *temp2; while(temp->next) { temp2=temp; temp=temp->next; } temp2->next=NULL; free(temp); }
- 12. Deleting a particular node Here we make the next pointer of the node previous to the node being deleted ,point to the successor node of the node to be deleted and then delete the node using. delete keyword.
- 13. void delete_from_any_position(int pos) { int i ; struct node *temp=head, *temp2; for(i=2 ; i<pos ; i++) { temp=temp->next; } temp2=temp->next temp->next=temp2->next; free(temp2); }
- 14. Searching a SLL Searching involves finding the required element in the list. We can use various techniques of searching like linear search or binary search where binary search is more efficient in case of Arrays. But in case of linked list since random access is not available it would become complex to do binary search in it. We can perform simple linear search traversal.
- 15. In linear search each node is traversed till the data in the node matches with the required value: void search (int x) { node*temp=start; while(temp!=NULL) { if(temp->data==x) { cout<<“FOUND ”<<temp->data; break; } temp=temp->next; }
- 16. APPLICATIONS OF LINKED LIST A linked list is a very efficient data structure for sorted list that will go through many insertions and deletions. A linked list is a dynamic data structure in which the list can start with no nodes and then grow as new nodes are needed. A node can be easily deleted without moving other nodes, as would be the case with an array. For example, a linked list could be used to hold the records of students in a school. Each quarter or semester , new students enroll in the school and some students leave or graduate.
- 17. Advantages of using a Linked list: Save space (don’t have to worry about sparse polynomials) and easy to maintain. Don’t need to allocate list size and can declare nodes (terms) only as needed. Operation related to data elements like insertions or deletion are more simplified Disadvantages of using a Linked list : Can’t go backwards through the list. Can’t jump to the beginning of the list from the end.
