What are the operations in singly linked lists?

Answer 1

The main operations on singly linked list are:

1:-Insertion

2:-Deletion

3:-Searching

4:-Display

Insertion can be done in done ways:

1)Insertion at beginning

2)Insertion at end

3)Inserting at a specified position

Deletion can be performed in 3 ways:

1)Deletion from beginning

2)Deletion from end

3)Deletion from a specified position.

Answer 2

The operations that can be performed on a linked list are... 1. Insert an element or list. 2. Delete an element or list. 3. Read an element or list. 4. Modify an element or list. 5. Search for the first or next occurence of an element.

Answer 3

Operations that are performed on a singly linked list are-

1. Traversal of complete list (Displaying all data elements)

2. Insertion of element at beginning.

3. Insertion of element at end.

4. Insertion of element at specified position.

5. Deletion of element from beginning.

6. Deletion of element from end.

7. Deletion of element from specified position.

Answer 4

The constant time operations that may be performed upon a doubly-linked list are:

• .back()
• .empty()
• .front()
• .pop_back()
• .pop_front()
• .push_back()
• .push_front()

Doubly-linked lists can also be move constructed in constant time as well as default constructed in constant time (creating an empty list). Empty lists can also be copy constructed, copy assigned and destroyed in constant time.

Note that lists (including empty lists) cannot be move assigned in constant time because the moved-to list needs to be cleared first and the .clear() method is a linear-time operation. The moved-from list does not need to be cleared, it need only revert to an unspecified but valid state (the most logical state being an empty state) which can be done in constant time once ownership of its original resources has been transferred to the moved-to list, which is itself a constant-time operation.

Implementations that maintain an internal counter may also provide a constant time .size() member, however the need to physically count elements in a list (whether doubly-linked or singly-linked) is such a rare activity that the overhead of maintaining an internal counter is often eliminated in order to ensure optimum performance in the majority of cases where a count is rarely or indeed never required. Often it is enough to know that a list is empty or not (rather than knowing the precise number of elements) and that can be done in constant time whether empty or not. However, you can always derive your own "counted" list from a "standard" list to cater for those cases where a counted list is a constant-time requirement in your program, but keep in mind this will add a small but not insignificant overhead to each insertion, extraction, copy and move operation.
