Types of linked list

A data structure is a group of data elements grouped together under one name. These data elements, known as members, can have different types and different lengths.

syntax
struct structure_name { member_type1 member_name1; member_type2 member_name2; member_type3 member_name3; } Stru_varname;

Where structure_name is a name for the structure type, stru_name can be a set of valid identifiers for objects that have the type of this structure. Within braces { } there is a list with the data members, each one is specified with a type and a valid identifier as its name.

// program to Accept the employee details from the End user #include<stdio.h> #include<conio.h> #include<malloc.h> struct emp { int eno; char ename[25]; int sal; }; void main() { struct emp *e; char ch='y'; clrscr(); while(ch=='y')

{ e=(struct emp *) malloc(sizeof(struct emp)); printf("\n Enter the employee number"); scanf("%d",&e->eno);

printf("\n Enter the employee name"); scanf("%s",e->ename);

printf("\n Enter the employee salary"); scanf("%d",&e->sal); printf("\n Do you wish to continue[Y/N]?"); fflush(stdin); scanf("%c",&ch); } getch(); }

LINKED LIST :

It is a dynamic data structure. This implementation uses pointers. Each element of the list is
called as node. Each element points to the next element. In linked list, a node can be inserted or deleted at any position. Basic Terms :

(i) Node (ii) Null Pointer (iii) External pointer

(iv) Empty List Operation on Linked list : (i) Creation (iii) Insertion (a) Insertion at beginning (b) Insertion at end (c) Insertion at any position (iv) Searching (v) Deletion (a) Deletion at beginning (b) Deletion at end (c) Deletion at any position (ii) Traversing

Linked List Declaration

A linked list storing information of players of a cricket team can be declared as : Note That next is declared as a pointer to the structure player itself. Remember, that the last node in the list should have its pointer, next, set to the value NULL.
