I've created two linked lists it's supposed to do a union and a merge. If I run the functions separately it does the task it's supposed to do merge or union. But when I try to output both simultaneously, the code infinitely keeps going. I don't know if it has to do with my null or the functions themselves.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Node{
int num;
Node *next;
};
//
Node * unionLL (Node * LA, Node * LB)
{
if(LA == NULL)
{
return LB;
}
if(LB == NULL)
{
return LA;
}
Node *temp = NULL;//Creation of a node name temp as a place holder
if(LA != NULL) // if LA is less than LB
{
temp = LA;
temp->next = unionLL(LA->next, LB);
}
else if(LB != NULL)
{
temp = LB;
temp->next = unionLL(LA,LB->next);
}
return temp;
}
Node * mergeLL (Node * LA, Node * LB) // method
{
if(LA == NULL)
{
return LB;
}
if(LB == NULL)
{
return LA;
}
Node *temp = NULL;//Creation of a node name temp as a place holder
if(LA->num<=LB->num) // if LA is less than LB
{
temp = LA;
temp->next = mergeLL(LA->next, LB);
}
else if(LB->num<=LA->num)
{
temp = LB;
temp->next = mergeLL(LA,LB->next);
}
return temp;
}
int main()
{
// set 1
Node *head = new Node(); // Creation of node
Node *neighbor1 = new Node();
Node *neighbor2 = new Node();
Node *neighbor3 = new Node();
neighbor3->num=11;
neighbor2->num=8;
neighbor1->num=5;
head->num= 3; // head is leading node
head->next =neighbor1;
neighbor1->next = neighbor2;
neighbor2->next = neighbor3;
neighbor3->next = NULL;
// set 2
Node *head2 = new Node(); // Creation of node
Node *neighbor6 = new Node();
Node *neighbor7 = new Node();

neighbor6->next = neighbor7;
neighbor7->next = neighbor8;
neighbor8->next = neighbor9;

neighbor10->next = NULL;
Node *head3 = head;
Node *head4 = head2;
Node *Merge = mergeLL(head,head2);
cout<<"mergeLL(LA, LB) = ";
while(Merge != NULL)
{
cout<<Merge->num; cout<<" "; //end is no new line
Merge= Merge->next;
}
Node *unionLLL = unionLL(head3,head4);
cout<<"unionLLL(LA, LB) = ";
while(unionLLL != NULL)
{
cout<<unionLLL->num; cout<< " ";
unionLLL= unionLLL->next;
}
return 0;
}
You are modifying the original linked lists in your mergeLL and unionLL functions. This is done when you change ->next to point to a different Node then it originally did. It is making some circular loops where head points to head2 and that is why it never reaches the end. Your mergeLL and unionLL functions need to create new Node() inside there, so that the original lists stay intact. Just copying the head node as you do in main doesn't preserve the original linked list order.
I've created a helpful printList function, that you can see the addresses, which can help you debug/design the linked list you want.
void printList(Node *head, const char *name)
{
cout << name << ":";
while (head != NULL)
{
cout << " " << head->num << "(" << head << ")";
head = head->next;
}
cout << "\n";
}
int main {
...
printList(head, "head");
printList(head2, "head2");
Node *Merge = mergeLL(head, head2);
printList(Merge, "mergeLL(LA, LB)");
printList(head, "head");
printList(head2, "head2");
...
}
returns
head: 3(0x1817eb0) 5(0x1817ed0) 8(0x1817ef0) 11(0x1817f10)
head2: 2(0x1817f30) 6(0x1817f50) 8(0x1817f70) 9(0x1817f90) 22(0x1817fb0) 24(0x1817fd0)

We are iterating through the linked list with the help of head, that is, we are updating our head as we move forward towards i th position. Please have a look at the fuction insertIthnode. I am inserting my Node at i th position are returning head - and it's still able to print the linked list. I don't know how? head is no longer pointing towards the first node then how is it still able to return a full linked list?
here's the code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Node {
public:
int data;
Node *next;
Node(int data) {
this->data = data;
next = NULL;
}
};
int length(Node *head) {
int x = 0;
Node *temp = head;
while (temp != NULL) {
x += 1;
temp = temp->next;
}
return x;
}
void printIthnode(Node *head, int i) {
int n = length(head);
if (i < 0 || i > n - 1) {
cout << -1 << endl;
return;
}
int count = 1;
while (count <= i) {
head = head->next;
count++;
}
if (head) {
cout << head->data << endl;
} else {
cout << "-1" << endl;
}
}
Node *takeinput() {
int data;
cin >> data;
Node *head = NULL;
Node *tail = NULL;
while (data != -1) {
Node *n = new Node(data);
if (head == NULL) {
head = n;
tail = n;
} else {
tail->next = n;
tail = n;
}
cin >> data;
}
return head;
}
void PrintLL(Node *head) {
Node *temp = head;
while (temp != NULL) {
cout << temp->data << " ";
temp = temp->next;
}
}
Node *insertIthnode(Node *head, int i, int data) {
if (i < 0) {
return head;
} else if (i == 0) {
Node *n = new Node(data);
n->next = head;
head = n;
return head;
}
int count = 1;
while (count <= i - 1 && head != NULL) {
head = head->next;
count++;
if (count == i - 1) {
Node *n = new Node(data);
n->next = head->next;
head->next = n;
return head;
}
return head;
}
}
int main() {
/*Node n1(1);
Node *head=&n1;
Node n2(2);
Node n3(3);
Node n4(4);

*/
Node *head = takeinput();
insertIthnode(head, 3, 7);
PrintLL(head);
}
In the main() function you are creating a head when you are taking input from the user with the help of the "takeInput()" function.
After that, you are calling the function "insertIthnode(head,3,7)" which is returning the head (since the return type is Node) but you are not receiving it in any variable so the head returned from the "insetIthnode" is lost.
Your original head remains the same as per of "takeInput()" function.
If you try to insert ith Node at Index 0 it won't print according to the inserted node.
The problem is that you consider the Node as the linked list. While this is valid, the whole point of the linked list is that you don't lose track of the head. You could use two approaches:
Don't iterate over the head. Instead, use a temporary reference to the head.
Implement a Linked List wrapper. You can keep a constant reference to the head while performing operations over the node.
You pass head by value. Any changes you do to the variable receiving the value of head inside the functions are made to the local variable inside the function only and will not be visible from the call site.
Take your PrintLL function as an example:
void PrintLL(Node *head) { // head is here a local variable
Node *temp = head;
while (temp != NULL) {
cout << temp->data << " ";
temp = temp->next;
}
}
This could be rewritten without the extra variable temp. The name head doesn't make it the same head you used to call the function with:
void PrintLL(Node* head) {
while (head != nullptr) {
cout << head->data << ' ';
head = head->next;
}
}
and it would not affect the head you passed in as a parameter.
Similarly:
void foo(int x) {
++x;
//
}
int main() {
int x = 10;
foo(x);
std::cout << x << '\n'; // prints 10
}
as shown in the code , i have to use 2 similar functions for creating 2 linked lists . isn't there a way i can create as many lists as i want with just one function , i tried using struct Node **p and struct Node *p as a parameter to the function but the didn't work
can someone help me to create multiple linked lists using this same function
and i want to create a append function not a insert function which asks for position as well.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Node
{
int data = 10 ;
struct Node *next;
} *first , *second , *third;
void Display(struct Node *p)
{
while (p)
{
cout<<p->data<<" ";
p = p->next ;
}
cout<<"\n";
}
void Append_1(int elem)
{
Node* t , *last;
t = new Node;
t->data = elem;
t->next = NULL;
if(first == 0)
first = last = t;
else
{
last->next = t;
last = t;
}
}
void Append_2(int elem)
{
Node* t , *last;
t = new Node;
t->data = elem;
t->next = NULL;
if(second == 0)
second = last = t;
else
{
last->next = t;
last = t;
}
}
//void SortMerge(struct Node *p , struct Node *q);
int main()
{
Append_1(3);
Append_1(7);
Display(first);
Append_2(10);
Append_2(14);
Append_2(21);
Display(second);
//SortMerge(first , second);
Display(third);
return 0;
}
You can create a class like here:
struct Node{
int data;
Node* next;
Node* previous;
};

int num_elt=0;
};
Graph::Graph(int first_data){

head->next = NULL;
head->previous = NULL;
head->data = first_data;
tail = head;
num_elt++;
}
Graph::~Graph(){
Node* main_traverser = head;
while(main_traverser){
main_traverser = head->next;
delete head;
head = main_traverser;
}
std::cout <<"Graph deleted!" << std::endl;
}
void Graph::display_left_right(){
Node* traverser = head;
while(traverser != NULL){
std::cout << traverser->data << " ";
traverser = traverser->next;
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
void Graph::display_right_left(){
Node* traverser = tail;
while(traverser != NULL){
std::cout << traverser->data << " ";
traverser = traverser->previous;
}
std::cout << std::endl;
}
void Graph::append(int new_data){
Node* add = new Node;
add->data = new_data;
add->next = NULL;
add->previous = tail;
tail->next = add;
tail = add;
num_elt++;
}
void Graph::append_at_pos(int pos, int new_data){
if(pos > num_elt+1 || pos<=0){std::cout << "Wrong position!" << std::endl; return;}
if(pos==1){
prepend(new_data);
return;
}
if(pos==num_elt+1){
append(new_data);
return;
}
Node* add = new Node;
Node* traverser = head;
add->data = new_data;
for(int i=0; i<pos-2; i++){
traverser = traverser->next;
}
add->next = traverser->next;
add->previous = traverser;

traverser->next = add;
}
void Graph::prepend(int new_data){
Node* add = new Node;

num_elt++;
}

return num_elt;
}
int Graph::get_data_at_pos(int pos){

}
main(){

a.display_left_right();
std::cout << "data at 1: " << a.get_data_at_pos(1) << std::endl;
}
When you say "create multiple linked lists," I think you mean creating nodes to a linked list, which you have 2 append functions. I think the reason you have these 2 functions is because you do not know where to start traversing your linked list. For this reason, I think in your main function you should declare the head of the linked list, a single node that is the start. Set it's data and next to null, and then pass the head value into a function so it can start traversing from the head. Here is a generic append function that adds a node on the end, where the parameters are a reference to the head node, and the value for the new node:
void append(Node ** head, int new_data)
{
Node * select_node = * head;
// select node is set to the head node, and will traverse until it is at the end
while (select_node -> next != NULL)
{
// select node is set to the next node until it is NULL (end of linked list)
select_node = select_node -> next;
}
// now that select node is the last node, we need to make it's next value a node
// and that node should be a new node (allocated in heap) with the value of the input value
//and the next value be NULL (because it's the end of the linked list)
Node * next_node = new Node();
next_node -> data = new_data;
next_node -> next = NULL;
select_node -> next = next_node;
}
my program is for sorting a letters entered by the user and each letter is followed by its position to create a word using linked list " the word should be ended by -1 to stop insertion". my problem is when I enter the input nothing happen after that I think the problem is at the function printList(Node* head) put I cant get it .
include <iostream>
using namespace std;
/* Link list node */
class Node

public:
int data;

Node* next;
void sortedInsert(Node** head_ref, Node* new_node);

~Node() {};
};

function expects a pointer to

{
Node* a = new Node();
// Advance s to index p.
Node* current;
// Special case for the head end
if (*head_ref == NULL || (*head_ref)->data >= new_node->data)
{
new_node->next = *head_ref;
*head_ref = new_node;
}
else
{
// Locate the node before the point of insertion
current = *head_ref;
while (current->next != NULL && current->next->data < new_node->data)
{
current = current->next;
}
new_node->next = current->next;
current->next = new_node;
}
}

}

{
Node* temp = head;
Node* temp2 = head;
while (temp != NULL) {
cout << temp->data << temp2->data << " ";
temp = temp->next;

}
}
int main()
{

}

}
return 0;
}
There are a handful of (potential) bugs in your code. Here is the first one I found:
Node* newNode(char x, int new_data)
{
/* allocate node */
Node* new_node = new Node();
/* put in the data */
new_node->data = x; // OOPS, you probably mean new_node->x = x
new_node->data = new_data;
new_node->next = NULL;
return new_node;
}
The below code is for merge sorting a linked list. Its giving out a segmentation fault. I really dont know how to deal with the above. All I could find was that I was trying to access a restricted part of the memory, the only place I think i could've gone wrong is re combining the two linked lists after splitting and sorting them under the split function body. I'd appreciate if I could get some guidance on how to deal with segmentation faults from here on & how to rectify them.
//Segmentation fault
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Node
{
public:
int data;
Node *next;
Node(int data)
{
this->data = data;
next = NULL;
}
};
void print(Node *head)
{
Node *temp = head;
while (temp != NULL)
{
cout << temp->data << " ";
temp = temp->next;
}
}
Node *insert()
{
int data;
cin >> data;
Node *head = NULL;
Node *tail = NULL;
while (data != -1)
{
Node *n = new Node(data);
if (head == NULL)
{
head = n;
tail = n;
}
else
{
tail->next = n;
tail = tail->next;
}
cin >> data;
}
return head;
}
Node *sortedMerge(Node *h1, Node *h2)
{
// Node *fHead = NULL;
// Node *fTail = NULL;
if (!h1)
{
return h2;
}
if (!h2)
{
return h1;
}
if (h1->data < h2->data)
{
h1->next = sortedMerge(h1->next, h2);
return h1;
}
else
{
h2->next = sortedMerge(h1, h2->next);
return h2;
}
}
void split(Node *head, Node *h1, Node *h2)
{
Node *slow = head;
Node *fast = head->next;
while (fast != NULL)
{
fast = fast->next;
if (fast != NULL)
{
slow = slow->next;
fast = fast->next;
}
}
h1 = head;
h2 = slow->next;
slow->next = NULL;
}
void mergeSort_LL(Node *head)
{
Node *temp = head;
Node *h1;
Node *h2;
if ((temp == NULL) || (temp->next == NULL))
{
return;
}
split(temp, h1, h2);
mergeSort_LL(h1);
mergeSort_LL(h2);
head = sortedMerge(h1, h2);
}
int main()
{
Node *head = insert();
print(head);
cout << endl;
mergeSort_LL(head);
cout << "Sorted List is : " << endl;
print(head);
return 0;
}
Your call to split will not make h1 or h2 get a value. Arguments are passed by value. Since you evidently need h1 and h2 to get a different value from that split call, you should pass their addresses:
split(temp, &h1, &h2)
The function itself should therefore accept these addresses instead of the node pointers themselves:
void split(Node *head, Node **h1, Node **h2) {
// ...
*h1 = head;
*h2 = slow->next;
// ...
}
I've been trying to figure out how to reverse the order of a doubly-linked list, but for some reason, in my function void reverse() runs while loop once and then crashes for some reason. To answer some questions ahead, I'm self-teaching myself with my brothers help. This isn't all of the code, but I have a display() function which prints all nodes chronologically from start_ptr and a switch which activates certain functions like
case 1 : add_end(); break;
case 2 : add_begin(); break;
case 3 : add_index(); break;
case 4 : del_end(); break;
case 5 : del_begin(); break;
case 6 : reverse(); break;
This is the geist of my code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct node
{
char name[20];
char profession[20];
int age;
node *nxt;
node *prv;
};
node *start_ptr = NULL;
void pswap (node *pa, node *pb)
{
node temp = *pa;
*pa = *pb;
*pb = temp;
return;
}
void reverse()
{
if(start_ptr==NULL)
{
cout << "Can't do anything" << endl;
}
else if(start_ptr->nxt==NULL)
{
return;
}
else
{
node *current = start_ptr;
node *nextone = start_ptr;
nextone=nextone->nxt->nxt;
current=current->nxt;
start_ptr->prv=start_ptr->nxt;
start_ptr->nxt=NULL;
//nextone=nextone->nxt;
while(nextone->nxt!= NULL)
{
pswap(current->nxt, current->prv);
current=nextone;
nextone=nextone->nxt;
}
start_ptr=nextone;
}
}
Try this:
node *ptr = start_ptr;
while (ptr != NULL) {
node *tmp = ptr->nxt;
ptr->nxt = ptr->prv;
ptr->prv = tmp;
if (tmp == NULL) {
end_ptr = start_ptr;
start_ptr = ptr;
}
ptr = tmp;
}
EDIT: My first implementation, which was correct but not perfect.
Your implementation is pretty complicated. Can you try this instead:
node * reverse(Node * start_ptr)
{
Node *curr = start_ptr;
Node * prev = null;
Node * next = null;
while(curr)
{
next = curr->nxt;
curr->nxt = prev;
curr->prv = next;
prev = curr;
curr = next;
}
return start_ptr=prev;
}
Here is my updated solution:
node * reverse()
{
node *curr = start_ptr;
node * prev = NULL;
node * next = NULL;
while(curr)
{
next = curr->nxt;
curr->nxt = prev;
curr->prv = next;
prev = curr;
curr = next;
}
return start_ptr=prev;
}
The logic was correct. But the issue was that I was accepting in input argument start_ptr. Which means that I was returning the local copy of it. Now it should be working.
You can simplify your reverse() quite a bit. I'd do something like this:
void reverse()
{
if(start_ptr == NULL)
{
cout << "Can't do anything" << endl;
}
else
{
node *curr = start_ptr;
while(curr != NULL)
{
Node *next = curr->next;
curr->next = curr->prev;
curr->prev = next;
curr = next;
}
start_ptr = prev;
}
}
Explanation: The basic idea is simply to visit each Node and swap the links to previous and next. When we move curr to the next Node, we need to store the next node so we still have a pointer to it when we set curr.next to prev.
Simple solution. reverses in less than half a number of total iterations over the list
template<typename E> void DLinkedList<E>::reverse() {

int listSize = size();
int counter = 0;

I suggest maintaining a link to the last node.
If not, find the last node.
Traverse the list using the "previous" links (or in your case, prv).
There is no need to actually change the links around. Traversing using the prv pointer will automatically visit the nodes in reverse order.
Look at
valuesnextone=nextone->nxt->nxt;
Here nextone->nxt can be null.
Apart from that, try to use pointers to pointers in the swap function.
Your pswap function is wrong
your should swap the pointer not try to create temporary objects and swap them.
Should be like that (there might be other mistake later)
void pswap (node *&pa, node *&pb)
{
node* temp = pa;
pa = pb;
pb = temp;
return;
}
A very simple and O(n) solution using two pointers:
start = head of the doubly LL
struct node *temp, *s;
s = start;
while(s != NULL){
temp = s->prev;
s->prev = s->next;
s->next = temp;
s = s->prev;
}
//if list has more than one node
if(current != NULL){
start = temp->prev;
}
My code for reversing doubly linked list,
Node* Reverse(Node* head)
{
// Complete this function
// Do not write the main method.
if(head != NULL) {
Node* curr = head;
Node* lastsetNode = curr;
while(curr != NULL) {
Node* frwdNode = curr->next;
Node* prevNode = curr->prev;
if(curr==head) {
curr->next = NULL;
curr->prev = frwdNode;
lastsetNode = curr;
}
else {
curr->next = lastsetNode;
curr->prev = frwdNode;
lastsetNode = curr;
}
curr = frwdNode;
}
head = lastsetNode;
}
return head;
}
I thought I'd add a recursive solution here.
node* reverse_and_get_new_head(node* head) {
if (head == nullptr) { return nullptr; }
// This can be avoided by ensuring the initial,
// outer call is with a non-empty list
std::swap(head->prev, head->next);
if (head->prev == nullptr) { return head; }
return reverse_and_get_new_head(head->prev);
}
void reverse() {
start_ptr = reverse_and_get_new_head(start_ptr);
}
