You will need to traverse the list i times to get to the element you want deleted. Each time you go thru the list you will need to remember the forward pointer from the previous element because when you get to the element you want to delete the previous forward pointer needs to be pointed to the I + 1 element of the list.
What else can I help you with?
Convert single linked list to double linked list?
You copy a singly linked list into a doubly linked list by iterating over the singly linked list and, for each element, calling the doubly linked list insert function.
An algorithm of deleting linked list?
To delete a linked list walk through the list and delete the memory allocated to each element, remembering the next element address, and then iterating or recursing the process using the next element address, until the next element address is null.
What operation is supported in constant time by the doubly linked list but not by the singly linked list?
examples:- delete this node (identified by a pointer)- insert a new node before this node- replace this node with another node
What is best and worst case of time complexity and space complexity of insert and delete operation in singly linked list doubly linked list?
When inserting or extracting at the end of a singly-linked list or at the beginning or end of a doubly-linked list, the complexity is constant time. Inserting or extracting in the middle of a list has linear complexity, with best case O(1) when the insertion or extraction point is already known in advance and a worst case of O(n) when it is not.
Which function removes last element in a list?
If you are using the doubly-linked list from the STL library, then the function call:name_of_list.push_back();should delete the last element.
Convert single linked list to double linked list?
You copy a singly linked list into a doubly linked list by iterating over the singly linked list and, for each element, calling the doubly linked list insert function.
Common operation of singly linked list?
Common operations on a singly linked list include insertion (at the beginning, end, or specific position), deletion (from the beginning, end, or specific position), traversal (visiting each node in the list), searching (finding a specific value), and updating (modifying the value of a node).
How do you implement a doubly linked list by using singly linked list?
Add another pointer to the nodes for the previous node: struct node { struct node *next; struct node *previous; void *data; }; typedef struct node node; Then change the logic for insertion and removal to make sure you set the previous pointer as well as the next one.
An algorithm of deleting linked list?
To delete a linked list walk through the list and delete the memory allocated to each element, remembering the next element address, and then iterating or recursing the process using the next element address, until the next element address is null.
Which is the easy insertion operator single linked-list or double-linked list?
It is easier to insert into a singly linked list.
What are the types of singly linked list?
Classification #1 - With a sentinel (header) element. - Without a sentinel (header) element. Classification #2 - Normal - Circular
What operation is supported in constant time by the doubly linked list but not by the singly linked list?
examples:- delete this node (identified by a pointer)- insert a new node before this node- replace this node with another node
what are the differences between singly link list and doubly link list?
singly linked list stores only the address of next node while doubly linked list stores the address of previous node and next node and hence it is called doubly linked list. In singly linked list only forward traversing is possible while in doubly linked list forward and backward traversal is possible.
What is the disadvantage of singly linked list?
This is a searching question.
What is best and worst case of time complexity and space complexity of insert and delete operation in singly linked list doubly linked list?
When inserting or extracting at the end of a singly-linked list or at the beginning or end of a doubly-linked list, the complexity is constant time.

What is a singly linked linear list?
A singly linked list is a linked list which only provides links in "one direction". Using a metaphor, a singly linked list is a one way street, while a doubly linked list is a two way street. Once you move forward in a singly linked list, there is no way to go backwards unless you kept your reference/pointer from before. A singly linked list would look like this: start ----> node1---->node2---->node3 ----> NULL You will see that node2 only has a link forward to node3 - it does not have a link backwards to node1, even though node1 has a link forwards to node2. To prevent us from permanently losing access to portions of the linked list, we generally keep a reference/pointer to "start". A doubly linked list would have twice the number of pointers/references as a singly linked list - making it very inefficient to store small datatypes. On the other hand, it would be possible to move both forwards and backwards with a doubly linked list because you have links pointing both forwards and backwards.
