Deletion of last node in circular link list

Now we will see how to delete node at last position in circular link list.

Algorithm to delete node at last position in circular link list:

  • Set TEMP1 = START
  • If START != NULL
    • If START->NEXT == NULL
      • START = START->NEXT
      • FREE (TEMP1)
    • Else
      • Traverse the list so that TEMP1 points to last node and TEMP2 points second last node
      • TEMP2->NEXT = NULL
      • FREE (TEMP1)
    • End If;
  • End If;

Function to delete node at last position in circular link list:

 

int deleteLast(NODE **tail){
 NODE *temp;
 int info = -1;
 if(*tail == NULL){
  printf("\nError: List have no node");
 }
 else{
  if(*tail == (*tail)->next){
   temp = *tail;
   *tail = NULL;
   info = temp->info;
   free(temp);
  }
  else{
   temp = (*tail)->next; //temp points to first node
   while(temp->next != *tail){
    temp = temp->next;
   }
   temp->next = (*tail)->next; //points to first node
   info = (*tail)->info; // store the info
   free(*tail); // free last node
   *tail = temp; // update the *tail to second last node
  }
 }
 return info;
}
 

Program to delete node at last position in the circular link list:

 

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

struct node{
 int info;
 struct node *next;
};
typedef struct node NODE;

void insertAtFirst(NODE **, int);
int deleteLast(NODE **);
void traverse(NODE **);

int main(){
 
 NODE *tail = NULL;
 
 insertAtFirst(&tail, 1); // 1
 insertAtFirst(&tail, 3); // 3 1
 insertAtFirst(&tail, 4); // 4 3 1
 traverse(&tail); // 4 3 1
 printf("\n");
 deleteLast(&tail); // 3 1
 deleteLast(&tail); // 3
 traverse(&tail);
 deleteLast(&tail); // 
 deleteLast(&tail); // no node
 traverse(&tail); // 
 printf("\n");
 
 return 0;
}


void insertAtFirst(NODE **tail, int info){
 NODE *ptr = (NODE*) malloc(sizeof(NODE));
 ptr->info = info;
 if(*tail == NULL){
  ptr->next = ptr;
  *tail = ptr;
 }
 else{
  ptr->next = (*tail)->next;
  (*tail)->next = ptr;
 }
}

int deleteLast(NODE **tail){
 NODE *temp;
 int info = -1;
 if(*tail == NULL){
  printf("\nError: List have no node");
 }
 else{
  if(*tail == (*tail)->next){
   temp = *tail;
   *tail = NULL;
   info = temp->info;
   free(temp);
  }
  else{
   temp = (*tail)->next; //temp points to first node
   while(temp->next != *tail){
    temp = temp->next;
   }
   temp->next = (*tail)->next; //points to first node
   info = (*tail)->info; // store the info
   free(*tail); // free last node
   *tail = temp; // update the *tail to second last node
  }
 }
 return info;
}

void traverse(NODE **tail){
 NODE *temp;
 temp = *tail;
 if(*tail){
  do{
   printf("%d  ", temp->next->info);
   temp = temp->next;
  } while(temp != *tail);
 }
}

Prefix to Infix Conversion

With a given Prefix Expression, we will see how to convert Prefix Expression into Infix Expression using stack.   Algorithm to convert Prefix Expression to Infix Expression: In this algorithm, we will use stack to store operands during the conversion. The step are as follows: Read the prefix string While the end of prefix string scanned from right to left symb = the current character If symb is an operator poped_sym1 = pop the stack poped_sym2 = pop the stack concat the string  STR = ( poped_sym1 )+ ( operator )+( poped_sym2 ) push the string STR into stack Else push the operand symb into stack End If End While infix_str = pop the stack   Function to convert Prefix Expression to Infix Expression: void prefix_to_infix(char prefix[], char infix[]){ char op[2]; //operator string char poped1[MAX]; char poped2[MAX]; char temp[MAX]; int i = strlen(prefix); op[1] = '\0'; while(--i != -1){ if(prefix[i] == ' '){ continue; } if(isoper...

Concatenating two link list

Here we will see how to concat two single link list into other link list. First we copy the content of first list in third list and then the content of second list into third list. Algorithm for concatenation of two link list: This algorithm will use three list. List 1 and List 2 will be concatenated into List 3. The step below: Copy the list 1 into list 3 Copy the list 2 at the last of list 3 Function to concat two link list: void concatLists(NODE **start1, NODE **start2, NODE **mergeinto){ NODE *temp; temp = *start1; while(temp != NULL){ insertAtLast(&*mergeinto, temp->info); temp = temp->next; } temp = *start2; while(temp != NULL){ insertAtLast(&*mergeinto, temp->info); temp = temp->next; } }   Program to concat two link lists: #include <stdio.h> #include <malloc.h> struct node{ int info; struct node *next; }; typedef struct node NODE; void insertAtLast(NODE **, int); void traverse(NODE **); void concatLists(NODE **,...

Insertion at specific position N in singly link list

Insertion of a new node at position N in singly link list requires traversing the list for N-1 th node so that links are updated to accommodate the new node in the list. The new node's next is set to point to Nth node of the list and then N-1 th node's next pointer is updated so that it reference to new node. The step by step algorithm to insert node at Nth position is as below: Algorithm to insert node at specific position N in singly link list: This algorithm will insert the new node PTR at the position N in the link list. The steps are as follows: Create new node PTR Set the INFO field of PTR If N is less than 1 Node can't be inserted Else If node is to be inserted at first i.e. [N=1] Make new node PTR points to first node i.e. [PTR->NEXT = START] Make START point to new node PTR i.e. [START = PTR] Else Traverse the list to get the (N-1)th node of list into TEMP Make PTR's next pointer point to Nth node in the list i.e. [PTR -> NEXT  =  TEMP-...
