Insertion at end in Circular Linked List in C++

Insertion at end in circular linked list

How to insert at end in circular linked list in CPP?

In single linked list, every node points to its next node in the list and the last node points NULL. But in circular linked list, every node points to its next node in the list but the tail node points to the head node in the list.In this article, we will learn how code a program for insertion at end in circular linked list in C++ programming language.

Steps to write a C++ program for insertion at the end in circular linked list

  1. Create new node with the help of data given.
  2. If the circular linked list is empty make new node as head of the list.
  3. And if the list has already some data present in it then,struct a node pointer say p, and initialize with head.
  4. Traverse until the next of the pointer points the head.
  5. Set p → next = temp and temp → next = head, this will link newly inserted node with the previous head.
  6. Print the new list with the help of print function.

Syntax

class Node  
{  
    int data;  
    Node *next;  
};
Insertion at end in circular linked list in C++

Algorithm to write a C++ program for insertion at the end in circular linked list

  • STRUCT NODE P
  • INTEGER A=NUM1
  • STRUCT NODE TEMP
  • TEMP->NUM=A;
  • P=HEAD
  • WHILE(P->NEXT!-HEAD)
  • P=P->NEXT
  • END WHILE
  • P->NEXT=TEMP
  • TEMP->NEXT=HEAD

C++ program for insertion at end in circular linked list

Run
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

struct Node
{
  int num;
  struct Node *next;
} *head;

void insertStart (struct Node **head, int data)	//function to create linked list
{
  struct Node *newNode = (struct Node *) malloc (sizeof (struct Node));
  newNode->num = data;

  // if its the first node being entered
  if (*head == NULL)
    {
      *head = newNode;		// assigning itself as head
      (*head)->next = *head;	// assigning itself as next node

      cout << newNode->num << " Inserted\n";
      return;
    }

  // if CLL already as >=1 node
  struct Node *curr = *head;

  // traverse till last node in CLL
  while (curr->next != *head)
    {
      curr = curr->next;
    }

  curr->next = newNode;		// last node's next as this new node
  newNode->next = *head;	// new node's next as current head node

  *head = newNode;		// changing head node to this new node
  cout << newNode->num << " Inserted\n";

  // previous head node becomes 2nd node
}

void insertEnd (struct Node **head, int num1)	//function to insert element at end 
{
  struct Node *p;
  struct Node *temp = (struct Node *) malloc (sizeof (struct Node));
  temp->num = num1;
  p = *head;
  while (p->next != *head)
    {
      p = p->next;
    }
  p->next = temp;
  temp->next = *head;
}

void display (struct Node *head)
{

  cout << "\nCircular Linked List : " << endl;

  // if circular linked list is empty currently
  if (head == NULL)
    return;

  struct Node *temp = head;

  // since we need to take care of circular nature of linked list
  do
    {
      cout << temp->num << " ";
      temp = temp->next;

    }
  while (temp != head);
  cout << endl;
}

int main ()				//main function
{
  // first node will be null at creation    
  struct Node *head = NULL;

  insertStart (&head, 1);
  insertStart (&head, 2);
  insertStart (&head, 3);
  insertStart (&head, 4);
  insertStart (&head, 5);
  cout<<"Before insertion ";
  display (head);
  insertEnd (&head, 8);
  cout<<"After insertion ";
  display (head);
  return 0;
}
Output:
1 Inserted
2 Inserted
3 Inserted
4 Inserted
5 Inserted

Before Insertion
Circular Linked List:
5 4 3 2 1

After Insertion
Circular Linked List:
5 4 3 2 1 8
