C Program To Implement Singly Linked List.

A linked list is a data structure consisting of a group of nodes which together represent a sequence. Under the simplest form, each node contains one or more data fields and a reference to the next node. The last node points to a null reference to indicate the end of the list. 

The entry point into a linked list is the head of the list. Head is not a separate node, but a reference to the first Node in the list. If the list is empty, then the head has the value null. Linked list allows for efficient insertion, deletion, and traversal of elements in the sequence.

Example: A singly linked list whose nodes contain two fields: an integer value and a link to the next node. The last node is linked to a terminator used to signify the end of the list.

Introduction To Algorithms, 3rd Edition

Before there were computers, there were algorithms. But now that there are computers, there are even more algorithms, and algorithms lie at the heart of computing. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the modern study of computer algorithms. It presents many algorithms and covers them in considerable depth, yet makes their design and analysis accessible to all levels of readers. In this book, the authors tried to keep explanations elementary without sacrificing depth of coverage or mathematical rigor. Each chapter presents an algorithm, a design technique, an application area, or a related topic. Algorithms are described in English and in a pseudocode designed to be readable by anyone who has done a little programming. The book contains 244 figures — many with multiple parts — illustrating how the algorithms work. It also includes careful analysis of the running times of all algorithms. In this third edition, the entire book once again updated including changes cove...

C Program To Check Whether A Number Is Palindrome Or Not.

This program takes an integer from user and the integer is reversed. If the reversed integer is equal to the integer entered by user then that number is a palindrome. If not that number is not a palindrome.   #include <stdio.h> int main()  { int num, temp, remainder, reverse = 0; printf("Enter an integer: "); scanf("%d", &num); /*  original number is stored at temp */ temp = num; while (num > 0)  { remainder = num % 10; reverse = reverse * 10 + remainder; num /= 10;   }

The Basics Of C Programming - Part 3.

There are a number of different C input commands, the most useful of which is the scanf command. To read a single integer value into the variable called a you can use: scanf("%d",&a); When the program reaches the scanf statement it pauses to give the user time to type something on the keyboard and continues only when users press Enter or Return, to signal that he, or she, has finished entering the value. Then the program continues with the new value stored in a. In this way, each time the program is run the user gets a chance to type in a different value to the variable and the program also gets the chance to produce a different result! The final missing piece in the jigsaw is using the printf function, the one we use to print the value currently being stored in a variable. To display the value stored in the variable a you can use: printf("The value stored in a is %d",a); Note: the scanf function does not prompt for an input. You should ge...
