Chapter 13.1, Problem 3STE
Program Plan Intro

Linked list:

  • Linked list denotes a linear data structure.
  • The elements are not stored at contiguous locations; the elements are linked using pointers.
  • It stores linear data of similar types not like arrays.
  • The size of linked list can be changed based on requirement.
  • It is represented by a pointer to first linked list node.
  • The first node denotes a head.
  • If linked list is empty, value of head is NULL.
  • The node in a list has two parts, data and pointer to next node.

Given code:

//Define a structure

struct Box

{

//Declare variable

string name;

//Declare variable

int number;

//Define pointer to next

Box *next;

};

//Create an instance

BoxPtr head;

//Assign value

head = new Box;

//Assign value

head->name = "Sally";

//Assign value

head->number = 18;

//Assign value

head->next = NULL;

//Display value

cout << (*head).name << endl;

//Display value

cout << head->name << endl;

//Display value

cout << (*head).number << endl;

//Display value

cout << head->number << endl;

Explanation:

  • The “Box” defines a structure with “name” and “number” as members.
  • It contains a pointer to next element of list.
  • The “BoxPtr head” creates an instance of structure.
  • A new “Box” element is created.
  • The values of “name” and “number” are been set.
  • The values of “name” and “number” are been displayed.
  • The member variable next to the node is been set to NULL.

Complete program:

//Include libraries

#include<iostream>

#include<string>

//Use namespace

using namespace std;

//Define a structure

struct Box

{

//Declare variable

string name;

//Declare variable

int number;

//Define pointer to next

Box *next;

};

//Define instance

typedef Box* BoxPtr;

//Define main method

void main()

{

//Create an instance

BoxPtr head;

//Assign value

head = new Box;

//Assign value

head->name = "Sally";

//Assign value

head->number = 18;

//Display value

cout << (*head).name << endl;

//Display value

cout << head->name << endl;

//Display value

cout << (*head).number << endl;

//Display value

cout << head->number << endl;

//Delete

delete head;

//Display message

cout<<"List head is been destroyed"<<endl;

//Pause console window

system("pause");

}

Explanation:

  • The “Box” defines a structure with “name” and “number” as members.
  • It contains a pointer to next element of list.
  • Define a main method
    • The “BoxPtr head” creates an instance of structure.
    • A new “Box” element is created.
    • The values of “name” and “number” are been set.
    • The values of “name” and “number” are been displayed.
    • The member variable next to the node is been set to NULL.
    • The linked list is been destroyed using “delete” statement.

Revise the following Course class implementation in the following c++ code When adding a new student to the course, if the array capacity is exceeded, increase the array size by creating a new larger array and copying the contents of the current array to it. Implement the dropStudent function. Add a new function named clear() that removes all students from the course. Implement the destructor and copy constructor to perform a deep copy in the class. Write a test program that creates a course, adds three students, removes one, and displays the students in the course.
PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE: C++ Please test the code first before uploading here in bartleby. The expected outcome for each of the test case is also given in the screenshot. Follow accordingly. Thanks
1. Is the binding between a C variable and its memory location static (i.e., determined at compile time) for all variables, dynamic for all variables, or does it depend on the variable. 2. If it is the same for all variables, explain why. 3. If it is variable-dependant, give an example of a type of variable with each type of binding.
