C Program to implement Circular linked list


Write a C Program to implement Circular linked list operations. Here’s simple Menu Driven C Program to implement circular linked list operations like Creation, Insertion, Deletion, Display, Count, Add Node, Delete Node, Search, Reverse, etc.  in C Programming Language.


What is Linked List ?


Linked list is a linear data structure that contains sequence of elements such that each element links to its next element in the sequence. Each link contains a connection to another link.

Following are the important terms to understand the concept of Linked List.

  • Link − Each link of a linked list can store a data called an element.
  • Next − Each link of a linked list contains a link to the next link called Next.

Each element in a linked list is called as “Node”. Each node consists of its own data and the address of the next node and forms a chain. Linked Lists are used to create trees and graphs.


Basic Operations


Following are the basic operations supported by a list.

  • Insertion − Adds an element at the beginning of the list.
  • Deletion − Deletes an element at the beginning of the list.
  • Display − Displays the complete list.
  • Search − Searches an element using the given key.
  • Delete − Deletes an element using the given key.

Below is the source code for C Program to implement circular linked list operations which is successfully compiled and run on Windows System to produce desired output as shown below :
