From single to Doubly Link

[feeks]

Chapters 10, 12:
This is a two week assignment. Modify the linked list example in the book so that it is a doubly linked
list. Prove that your program works properly by implementing a print backwards function. The book's
code (6th edition) is at the end of the example output. You can just cut and paste it to get started. NOTE:
this is a C program – if you compile it as C++ you cannot use delete as that is a reserved keyword. Also,
since C++ is strongly typed, you must cast pointer allocations to the correct type.
You must understand the singly linked list code before you can start the doubly linked list code.
Your code must store in order.
If you have problems with improperly assigned pointers
You can redefine Node as:
struct listNode {
char data;
struct listNode *nextPtr;
struct listNode *prevPtr;
};
NOTE: I will be testing your code using the following sequence in this exact order –
Insert b a z k g m
Delete a z k g b m
This tests the 4 basic cases. Insert/delete on an empty list, insert/delete at the beginning,
insert/delete at the end, insert/delete at the end.
Example Program Session:
Enter your choice:
1 to insert an element into the list.
2 to delete an element from the list.
3 to end.
? 1
Enter a character: a
The list is:
a --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
a --> NULL
? 1
Enter a character: z
The list is:
a --> z --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
z --> a --> NULL
? 1
Enter a character: n
The list is:
a --> n --> z --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
z --> n --> a --> NULL
? 1
Enter a character: d
The list is:
a --> d --> n --> z --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
z --> n --> d --> a --> NULL
? 2
Enter character to be deleted: x
x not found.
? 2
Enter character to be deleted: n
n deleted.
The list is:
a --> d --> z --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
z --> d --> a --> NULL
? 2
Enter character to be deleted: a
a deleted.
The list is:
d --> z --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
z --> d --> NULL
? 2
Enter character to be deleted: z
z deleted.
The list is:
d --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
d --> NULL
? 2
Enter character to be deleted: d
d deleted.
List is empty.
? 1
Enter a character: s
The list is:
s --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
s --> NULL
? 1
Enter a character: t
The list is:
s --> t --> NULL
The list in reverse is:
t --> s --> NULL
? 3
End of run.

I redefined the node as instructed. WHat else am I supposd to ddo?

[AbstractionAnon]

When I compiled your code using a C compiler, i received no errors. I did get warnings regarding the unsafe use of scanf.

Line 132: Causes a warning regarding the truncation of a character literal. You have an extraneous space in the character literal.

Make sure your compiler is set for C compilation, not C++ compilation.

Line 14,41,104: delete is a keyword in C++ and caused similar errors when I tried to compile as C/C++.

Line 78: C++ requires a cast which is the cause of your error. When compiled with C, this line is okay.
