linked-list

I am confused as to how to add to the front of the linked list. /** * data is added to the front of the list * @modifies this * @ffects 2-->4-->6 becomes data-->2-->4-->6 */ public void insert(E data) { if (front == null) front = new Node(data, null); else { Node temp = new Node(data, front); front = temp; } } This creates a cycle. How do I avoid that? I have a LinkedList class which holds the front Node, in a variable called front. I have a Node class within this LinkedList class. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you. Jeff Don't you have access to "Next" node ? In that case public void

I'm trying to implement a (special kind of) doubly-linked list in C, in a pthreads environment but using only C-wrapped synchronization instructions like atomic CAS, etc. rather than pthread primitives. (The elements of the list are fixed-size chunks of memory and almost surely cannot fit pthread_mutex_t etc. inside them.) I don't actually need full arbitrary doubly-linked list methods, only: insertion at the end of the list deletion from the beginning of the list deletion at arbitrary points in the list based on a pointer to the member to be removed, which was obtained from a source other

While questions have been asked before about linked lists versus arrays, the answers mostly boil down to what most of us probably have already learned at some point: Lists are good at inserting and deleting Arrays are good at random access Now respectable people like Bjarne Stroustrup have argued that arrays practically always outperform linked lists because they make much better use of the caching architecture implemented in modern hardware. He also states that the performance advantage of arrays increases with their size. While I basically understand his arguments and agree with him, I

I'm trying to remove items from a C++ linked list using erase and a list iterator: #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <list> class Item { public: Item() {} ~Item() {} }; typedef std::list<Item> list_item_t; int main(int argc, const char *argv[]) { // create a list and add items list_item_t newlist; for ( int i = 0 ; i < 10 ; ++i ) { Item temp; newlist.push_back(temp); std::cout << "added item #" << i << std::endl; } // delete some items int count = 0; list_item_t::iterator it; for ( it = newlist.begin(); count < 5 ; ++it ) { std::cout << "round #" << count << std::endl; newlist

What are the different types of Linked Lists which are commonly used? I know and have used the following: Singly Linked List Doubly Linked List Circular List What are the other kinds of lists that have been used by you or known to you? Unrolled Linked List In computer programming, an unrolled linked list is a variation on the linked list which stores multiple elements in each node. It can drastically increase cache performance, while decreasing the memory overhead associated with storing list metadata such as references. It is related to the B-tree. - Wikipedia XOR Linked List XOR linked lists
