Implementation of Linked List in C

Creation, Insertion, and Display


B.Tech 1st Year Level
Introduction to Linked List
• - A Linked List is a linear data structure.
• - It consists of nodes where each node has data and a pointer.
• - Unlike arrays, linked lists are dynamic in size.
• - They allow efficient insertion and deletion.
• - Used in many real-time applications.
Types of Linked Lists
• - Singly Linked List: Each node points to the next node.
• - Doubly Linked List: Nodes point both next and previous.
• - Circular Linked List: Last node points to the first.
• - Types vary based on use-case.
• - We focus on Singly Linked List here.
Structure of Node in C
• - struct Node {
• int data;
• struct Node* next;
• };
• - 'data' stores the value.
• - 'next' is a pointer to the next node.
• - Defines the basic unit of Linked List.
Creating a Linked List
• - Start with head pointer set to NULL.
• - Use malloc to allocate new node.
• - Set data and next pointer.
• - Update head to point to new node.
• - Repeat for additional nodes.
Inserting a Node
• - Insert at beginning: change head.
• - Insert at end: traverse till last.
• - Insert at position: traverse and link.
• - Allocate memory using malloc.
• - Update next pointers properly.
Displaying the Linked List
• - Use a temp pointer to traverse.
• - While temp != NULL, print data.
• - Move to next node using temp = temp->next.
• - Continue until end of list.
• - Helps visualize data stored.
Sample Code Snippet
• - struct Node* head = NULL;
• - head = (struct Node*)malloc(...);
• - head->data = 10;
• - head->next = NULL;
• - printf("%d", head->data);
Conclusion
• - Linked List is a dynamic structure.
• - Useful for insertion/deletion.
• - Understanding basics is essential.
• - Practice with sample codes.
• - Helps in future complex data structures.
