Here is a C++ class definition for an abstract data type LinkedList of string objects. Implement each member function in the class below. Some of the functions we may have already done in lecture, that's fine, try to do those first without looking at your notes. You may add whatever private data members or private member functions you want to this class.

#include

#include

Using namespace std;

typedef string ItemType;

Struct Node {

ItemType value;

Node *next;

};

Class LinkedList {

private:

Node *head;

public:

// default constructor

LinkedList() : head(nullptr) { }

// copy constructor

LinkedList(const LinkedList& rhs);

// Destroys all the dynamically allocated memory

// in the list.

~LinkedList();

// assignment operator

const LinkedList& operator=(const LinkedList& rhs);

// Inserts val at the rear of the list

void insertToRear(const ItemType &val);

// Prints the LinkedList void

printList() const;

// Sets item to the value at position i in this

// LinkedList and return true, returns false if

// there is no element i

bool get(int i, ItemType& item) const;

// Reverses the LinkedList

void reverseList();

// Prints the LinkedList in reverse order

void printReverse() const;

// Appends the values of other onto the end of this

// LinkedList.

void append(const LinkedList &other);

// Exchange the contents of this LinkedList with the other

// one.

void swap(LinkedList &other);

// Returns the number of items in the Linked List.

int size() const;

};

When we don't want a function to change a parameter representing a value of the type stored in the LinkedList, we pass that parameter by constant reference. Passing it by value would have been perfectly fine for this problem, but we chose the const reference alternative because that will be more suitable after we make some generalizations in a later problem.

The get function enables a client to iterate over all elements of a LinkedList. In other words, this code fragment

LinkedList ls;

ls.insertToRear("Carl");

ls.insertToRear("Hariette");

ls.insertToRear("Eddie");

ls.insertToRear("Laura");

ls.insertToRear("Judy");

ls.insertToRear("Steve");

for (int k = 0; k < ls.size(); k++)

{

string x;

ls.get(k, x);

cout << x << endl;

}

must write

Carl

Hariette

Eddie

Laura

Judy

Steve

The printList and printReverse functions enables a client to print elements of a LinkedList. In other words, this code fragment

LinkedList ls;

ls.insertToRear("Cory");

ls.insertToRear("Topanga");

ls.insertToRear("Shawn");

ls.insertToRear("Eric");

ls.printList();

ls.printReverse();

must write

Cory Topanga Shawn Eric

Eric Shawn Topanga Cory

You should have one space between after each item printed with an additional newline after the last item. Here is an example of the append function:

LinkedList e1;

e1.insertToRear("devoe");

e1.insertToRear("biv");

e1.insertToRear("bell");

LinkedList e2;

e2.insertToRear("Big Boi");

e2.insertToRear("Andre");

e1.append(e2); // adds contents of e2 to the end of e1

string s;

assert(e1.size() == 5 && e1.get(3, s) && s == "Big Boi");

assert(e2.size() == 2 && e2.get(1, s) && s == "Andre");

Here is an example of the reverseList function:

LinkedList e1;

e1.insertToRear("Norm");

e1.insertToRear("Cliff");

e1.insertToRear("Carla");

e1.insertToRear("Sam");

e1.reverseList(); // reverses the contents of e1

string s;

assert(e1.size() == 4 && e1.get(0, s) && s == "Sam");

Here's an example of the swap function:

LinkedList e1;

e1.insertToRear("D");

e1.insertToRear("C");

e1.insertToRear("B");

e1.insertToRear("A");

LinkedList e2;

e2.insertToRear("Z");

e2.insertToRear("Y");

e2.insertToRear("X");

e1.swap(e2); // exchange contents of e1 and e2

string s;

assert(e1.size() == 3 && e1.get(0, s) && s == "Z");

assert(e2.size() == 4 && e2.get(2, s) && s == "B");

When comparing items, just use the == or != operators provided for the string type by

the library. These do case-sensitive comparisons, and that's fine.

The files are restricted to linkedlist.h , linkedlist.cpp , and main.cpp. The header file linkedlist.h will contain all the code from the top of this specification (includes, typedef, struct Node, class LinkedList) and proper guards, while the C++ file linkedlist.cpp will contain the LinkedList member functions you will write. The main file main.cpp can have the main routine do whatever you want because we will rename it to something harmless, never call it, and append our own main routine to your file. Our main routine will thoroughly test your functions. You'll probably want your main routine to do the same. Your code must be such that if we insert it into a suitable test framework with a main routine and appropriate #include directives, it compiles. (In other words, it must have no missing semicolons, unbalanced parentheses, undeclared variables, etc.)
