Doubly Linked List Operations Explained

This document discusses the concepts of a doubly linked list. A doubly linked list is a linked list where each node contains a pointer to both the next and previous nodes. It describes the operations that can be performed on a doubly linked list such as insertion at the beginning, middle, or end of the list. It also covers deletion from the beginning or end of the list and displaying the list in the forward or reverse direction. Pseudocode for implementing these operations is provided along with notes on their running times.

What is Doubly Linked List
• Each node in a Linked List consists of data and
address of next data & address of previous
data.

Begin End Middle Begin End Middle


Start with
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
struct node
{
int data;
struct node *next;
struct node *prev;
};
struct node *head=NULL,*tail=NULL;
Insert at Begin
• Start->prev=tmp
Insert Begin
void insert_begin(int x)
{
//node creation
struct node *n=(struct node *)malloc(sizeof(struct node));
n->data=x;
n->next=NULL;
n->prev=NULL;
if(head==NULL) //if list empty
{
head=tail=n;
} Running Time!?
else // if list has elements already
{
n->next=head;
head->prev=n;
head=n;
}
}
Insert at End
Insert End
void insert_end(int x)
{
//node creation
struct node *n=(struct node *)malloc(sizeof(struct node));
n->data=x;
n->next=NULL;
n->prev=NULL;
if(head==NULL) //if list empty
{
head=tail=n;
Running Time!?
}
else // if list has elements already
{
tail->next=n;
n->prev=tail;
tail=n;
}
}
Insert at Middle
Insert Middle
void insert_middle(int x,int pos)
{
struct node *n=(struct node *)malloc(sizeof(struct node)); Running Time!?
n->data=x;
n->next=NULL;
n->prev=NULL;
if(pos==1)
insert_begin(x);
else
{
int p;
struct node *i=head;
for(p=1;p<pos-1;p++)
i=i->next;

n->next=i->next;
n->prev=i;
i->next=n;
n->next->prev=n;
}
}
Display
void display()
{
struct node *i; Running Time!?
for(i=head;i!=NULL;i=i->next)
{
printf("%d-->",i->data);
}
}
Display in Reverse
void display()
{
struct node *i; Running Time!?
for(i=tail;i!=NULL;i=i->prev)
{
printf("%d-->",i->data);
}
}
Delete at Begin
Delete End

• Make tail=tail->prev and set tail->next=NULL

head tail
Delete Middle

• It is an exercise for you!!

• It is similar to the implementation in Singly
