Deletion in singly linked list at the endThere are two scenarios in which, a node is deleted from the end of the linked list.
In the first scenario,the condition head → next = NULL will survive and therefore, the only node head of the list will be assigned to null. This will be done by using the following statements. ptr = head head = NULL free(ptr) In the second scenario,The condition head → next = NULL would fail and therefore, we have to traverse the node in order to reach the last node of the list. For this purpose, just declare a temporary pointer temp and assign it to head of the list. We also need to keep track of the second last node of the list. For this purpose, two pointers ptr and ptr1 will be used where ptr will point to the last node and ptr1 will point to the second last node of the list. this all will be done by using the following statements. ptr = head; while(ptr->next != NULL) { ptr1 = ptr; ptr = ptr ->next; } Now, we just need to make the pointer ptr1 point to the NULL and the last node of the list that is pointed by ptr will become free. It will be done by using the following statements. ptr1->next = NULL; free(ptr); Algorithm
Write UNDERFLOW [END OF LOOP] C Function :#include<stdio.h> #include<stdlib.h> void create(int); void end_delete(); struct node { int data; struct node *next; }; struct node *head; void main () { int choice,item; do { printf("\n1.Append List\n2.Delete node\n3.Exit\n4.Enter your choice?"); scanf("%d",&choice); switch(choice) { case 1: printf("\nEnter the item\n"); scanf("%d",&item); create(item); break; case 2: end_delete(); break; case 3: exit(0); break; default: printf("\nPlease enter valid choice\n"); } }while(choice != 3); } void create(int item) { struct node *ptr = (struct node *)malloc(sizeof(struct node *)); if(ptr == NULL) { printf("\nOVERFLOW\n"); } else { ptr->data = item; ptr->next = head; head = ptr; printf("\nNode inserted\n"); } } void end_delete() { struct node *ptr,*ptr1; if(head == NULL) { printf("\nlist is empty"); } else if(head -> next == NULL) { head = NULL; free(head); printf("\nOnly node of the list deleted ..."); } else { ptr = head; while(ptr->next != NULL) { ptr1 = ptr; ptr = ptr ->next; } ptr1->next = NULL; free(ptr); printf("\n Deleted Node from the last ..."); } } Output 1.Append List 2.Delete node 3.Exit 4.Enter your choice?1 Enter the item 12 Node inserted 1.Append List 2.Delete node 3.Exit 4.Enter your choice?2 Only node of the list deleted ...
