C Program to implement singly linked list
Write a C Program to implement singly linked list operations. Here’s simple Menu Driven Program to to implement singly 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.
- LinkedList − A Linked List contains the connection link to the first link called First.
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 singly linked list operations which is successfully compiled and run on Windows System to produce desired output as shown below :
