A linked list is a linear collection of data elements, in which each node points to the next node. Unlike an array, it doesn’t have upper limit and hence extremely useful. The task is to access value of each node of linked list and reverse them.
Examples:
Input : 56 87 12 49 35 Output : 65 78 21 94 53 Input : 128 87 12433 491 33 Output : 821 78 33421 194 33
Algorithm: The task can be accomplished as:
- Linearly traverse each node of the singly linked list.
- Reverse the value of each node.
- Store the reversed value in the current node.
Implementation:
C
// C program to reverse every node data in // singly linked list. #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> // A linked list node struct Node { int data; struct Node* next; }; // newNode function inserts the new node at // the right side of linked list struct Node* newNode( int key) { struct Node* temp = ( struct Node*) malloc ( sizeof ( struct Node)); temp->data = key; temp->next = NULL; return temp; } // reverse() will receive individual data item // from reverseIndividualData() and will return // the reversed number to calling function int reverse( int number) { int new_num = 0, rem; while (number != 0) { rem = number % 10; new_num = new_num * 10 + rem; number = number / 10; } return new_num; } void reverseIndividualData( struct Node* node) { if (node == NULL) return ; while (node != NULL) { /* function call to reverse(), reverseIndividualData(struct Node *node) will send the one data item at a time to reverse(node->data) function which will return updated value to node->data*/ node->data = reverse(node->data); /* updating node pointer so as to get next value */ node = node->next; } } // Function to print nodes in linked list void printList( struct Node* node) { while (node != NULL) { printf ( "%d " , node->data); node = node->next; } } // Driver program to test above functions int main() { struct Node* head = NULL; head = newNode(56); head->next = newNode(87); head->next->next = newNode(12); head->next->next->next = newNode(49); head->next->next->next->next = newNode(35); printf ( "\nList before reversing individual data item \n" ); printList(head); reverseIndividualData(head); printf ( "\nList after reversing individual data item\n" ); printList(head); return 0; } |
