Question

write the function definition to create a linked list of 8 nodes that contain randomly generated characters between .с. 99) and· 119). The function should return t new linked list. (HINT: keep in mind the member function defined in question 2). 3.

Answer 1

FUNCTION

//defination of create mehod
//it will generate characters from c to w and store these in linklist and finally return it
struct list * create(struct list *node) /*LOGIC TO CREATE A LINK LIST*/
{
   char ch='y';
   int i,n;
   start.next = NULL; //assign NULL to the start node
   node = &start; /* Point to the start of the list */
for(i=1;i<=8;i++) //loop to generate 8 random values and store them in list
   {//allocate a memory for a new node
       node->next = (struct list* ) malloc(sizeof(struct list));
       node = node->next; //shift the pointer to the newly created node
      
       //generate random number between 99 to 119 inclusive
   n=(rand() % (119 + 1 - 99)) + 99;
   //store the generated number in linklist
       node->info=n;
       node->next = NULL; //assign NULL to end
   }
   return node; //retur the list
}

   printf("\n    The generated list is as follows:\n");

OUTPUT

CAUsers ROZYnKRISHNA Desktoplink.exe The generated list is as follows 81184 seconds with retu Process exited after 0. Press any key to continue . - - rn value E

NOTE: SINCE YOU ARE NOT MENTIONED IN ANY LANGUAGE SO I HAVE DONE IT USING C-LANGUAGE. BUT ANY WAY THE FUNCTION WILL WORK FOR ALL SIMPLY YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THE PRINTF() STATEMENT.
