Hi,
It has to be some stupid high school home task , that can be solved in
rather straightforward manner.
The pain in the @ss is the requirement not to touch the original list,
that is: no swap between the elements is permitted.
O(n^2) is a bunch of time: the list can be even bubble sorted, but I
really fail to figure out how the hell I'm supposed to handle the
sorting without building any additional structures and the requirement
not to modify the original list in any way.
Any help/tip/advice will be appreciated,
Thanks.

Wrong news group. That said, make n passes through the list. In each
pass find the smallest one that is larger than the last one printed.
Try comp.programmin g next time.

Also, Billy, although I'm sure you noticed ... making N complete passes
through a list with N elements might be O(N**2). This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Hi,
I've knocked up a number of small routines to create and manipulate a linked

grateful.

Hi!
I'm writing function which swaps two arbitrary elements
of double-linked list. References to the next element of list
must be unique or NULL (even during swap procedure), the same condition
should be kept for references to previous element of list.
Here is my solution below:

I need to evaluate two strings for their order.
The strings contain Letters (A thru Z upper case only) and Numbers

I need an order like the list that follows: ( it's just an example

Consider implementing a (doubly) linked list.
The simplest strategy is to provide functions
item_t add_item(item_t predecessor);
void delete_item(item_t item);
where add_item allocates memory for a new list item and returns it (or
NULL), and delete_item frees that memory.
However, if at startup the program immediately adds a large number of
items to a list, then all those calls to malloc() become expensive.

Hi All,
I would like to know how it is possible to insert a node in a linked
list without using a temp_pointer. If the element is the first element
then there is no problem but if it is in between then what is the best
solution.

I'm having trouble freeing the allocated memory of a single linked list node with a dynamic char* fields, it doesn't freed up if I use the FREE() function in C..

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
