Pseudo Code for Linked List Operations
Overview
This pseudo code outlines the operations of a singly linked list in C, including insertion, deletion, and display of nodes. The operations include insertion at the beginning, end, and specific positions; deletion from the beginning, end, and a specific position; and displaying the list.
Pseudo Code Structure
Data Structures
STRUCT Node
INTEGER data
Node* next
INITIALIZE head AS NULL
Main Program Logic
FUNCTION main()
INITIALIZE choice AS 1
INITIALIZE count AS 0
WHILE choice IS NOT 0
newnode = ALLOCATE memory FOR Node
PRINT "Enter data: "
READ newnode.data
newnode.next = NULL
IF head IS NULL THEN
head = newnode
temp = newnode
ELSE
temp.next = newnode
temp = newnode
PRINT "Do you want to continue (0,1): "
READ choice
INCREMENT count
PRINT "Total number of nodes in the linked list is count"
INTEGER wish
DO
PRINT options for operations
READ wish
SWITCH wish
CASE 1: // Insert at the beginning
newnode = ALLOCATE memory FOR Node
PRINT "Enter the data to be inserted at the beginning: "
READ newnode.data
newnode.next = head
head = newnode
CASE 2: // Insert at the end
newnode = ALLOCATE memory FOR Node
PRINT "Enter the data to be inserted at the end: "
READ newnode.data
temp = head
WHILE temp.next IS NOT NULL
temp = temp.next
temp.next = newnode
newnode.next = NULL
CASE 3: // Insert at specific position
newnode = ALLOCATE memory FOR Node
PRINT "Enter the data to be inserted: "
READ newnode.data
INTEGER i = 1
temp = head
PRINT "Enter the position: "
READ pos
IF pos > count THEN
PRINT "Invalid position"
ELSE
WHILE i < pos - 1
temp = temp.next
INCREMENT i
newnode.next = temp.next
temp.next = newnode
CASE 4: // Delete at the beginning
temp = head
head = head.next
FREE temp
CASE 5: // Delete at end
temp = head
IF temp IS NULL THEN
PRINT "List is empty"
BREAK
WHILE temp.next IS NOT NULL
prevnode = temp
temp = temp.next
IF temp IS head THEN

ELSE
prevnode.next = NULL
FREE temp
CASE 6: // Delete at specific position
temp = head
PRINT "Enter the position: "
READ pos
INTEGER i = 1
WHILE i < pos - 1
temp = temp.next
INCREMENT i
nextnode = temp.next
temp.next = nextnode.next

CASE 7: // Display the list

WHILE temp IS NOT NULL
PRINT temp.data

CASE 8: // Exit
BREAK
WHILE wish NOT EQUAL TO 8
END FUNCTION
Conclusion
This pseudo code captures the functionality of a linked list and allows for basic operations such as insertion, deletion, and display in a clear structured manner. It serves as a guide for understanding and implementing linked lists in a programming environment.
