In this programming homework, we will be implementing sequence data structure as *doubly* linked list.
One of the central type of data at the base of many indexes and algorithms is called set data. Typically, the
set is of keys, which are positive integers. It is a subset S of the universal set U ={1,2,...., u}. When we
use sequence to represent a set, it may become an ordered collection of keys. There are different ways this
order can be seen it may be based on the values of keys, or it may just be about the positions of keys in
the data structure.
In this programming assignment, we shall be using doubly linked lists (as against singly linked list we saw
in the class) to implement sequence which can serve both a stack and a queue. We choose doubly linked
list here so that no traversal of the list is necessary, and all the operations can be done instantly (with the
exception of printall). Thus, Node structure here will have prev pointer in addition to next. In a singly
linked list, next pointer of the tail element is null. In doubly linked list, in addition to this, prev pointer
of the head element is also set to null. Base cases to consider are: what if the list is empty before the
insertion? What if the list becomes empty after deletion? Please use the following helper code. Fill up
commented part by an actual code. Your class name must be DoublyLinkedList and filename either
DoublyLinkedList.java or DoublyLinkedList.cpp. Submit this on gradescope.
You can use and build on the following partial/pseudo code:
class Node {
int key;
Node prev, next;
Node(int key){
this.key = key;
this.prev = null;
this.next = null;
}
}
class DoublyLinkedList{
Node head;
Node tail;
int count;
DoublyLinkedList (){
head = tail = null;
count =0;
}
void insertF(int key){
Node p= new Node(key);
if(head == null)
head=tail=p; // it is a single element list now
else {
// we will do some pointer stitching carefully
// prepare p to become new head so that ps next will point to current
head
// set current heads prev to p
// set new head to p
}
//increment count
}
void insertL(int key){
Node p = new Node(key);
if (tail == null)
head=tail=p;
else {
//set tails next to p
// set ps prev to tail
// set new tail as p
}
// increment count
}
int deleteF(){
if (count ==0) return -1; //error
Node p = head;
int i = p.key;
//prepare to remove head by setting head to head.next
if(head == null) tail = null; // if list becomes empty after deletion
else {
//new head lets go of the old head by setting new heads prev to null
}
//decrement count
//deallocate p (optional)
return i;
}
int deleteL(){
if (count ==0) return -1; //error
Node p = tail;
int i = p.key;
tail = tail.prev;
if (tail == null) head = null;
else tail.next = null;
count--;
//deallocate p
return i;
}
void printall(){
Node p = head;
while (p!=null){
System.out.print(p.key);
if (p.next !=null) System.out.print("");
p=p.next;
}
//System.out.println(); //do not use this for submission
}
public static void main(String[] args){
DoublyLinkedList l = new DoublyLinkedList();
l.insertF(32);
l.insertF(42);
l.insertL(37);
l.insertL(27);
int temp = l.deleteF();
l.printall(); // output will be 323727
}
}
Required Output:
323727
