Program Plan:

LinkedList.h:

• Include the required specifications into the program.
• Define a class template named “LinkedList”.
  • Declare the member variables “value” and “*next” in structure named “ListNode”.
  • Declare the pointer variables “head” and “placeHolder” for the structure.
  • Declare the constructor, copy constructor, destructor, and member functions in the class.
• Declare a class template and define a function named “appendNode()” to insert the node at end of the list.
  • Declare the structure pointer variables “newNode” and “nodePtr” for the structure named “ListNode”.
  • Assign the value “newValue” to the variable “newNode” and assign null to the variable “newNode”.
  • Using “if…else” condition check whether the list to be empty or not, if the “head” is empty and make a new node into “head” pointer. Otherwise, make a loop find last node in the loop.
  • Assign the value of “nodePtr” into the variable “newNode”.
• Declare a class template and define a function named “displayList()” to print the values in the list.
  • Declare the structure pointer “nodePtr” for the structure named “ListNode”.
  • Initialize the variable “nodePtr” with the “head” pointer.
  • Make a loop “while” to display the values of the list.
• Declare a class template and define a function named “insertNode()” used to insert a value into the list.
  • Declare the structure pointer variables “newNode”, “nodePtr”, and “previousNode” for the structure named “ListNode”.
  • Make a “newNode” value into the received variable value “newValue”.
  • Using “if…else” condition to check whether the list is empty or not.
    • If the list is empty then initialize “head” pointer with the value of “newNode” variable.
    • Otherwise, make a “while” loop to test whether the “newValue” value is less than the list values or not.
    • Use “if…else” condition to initialize the value into list.
• Declare a class template and define a function named “deleteNode()” to delete a value from the list.
  • Declare the pointer variables “nodePtr”, and “previousNode” for the structure named “ListNode”.
  • Using “if…else” condition to check whether the “head” value is equal to “newValue” or not.
    • Initialize the variable “nodePtr” with the value of the variable “head”.
    • Remove the value using “delete” operator and reassign the “head” value into the “nodePtr”.
    • If the “newValue” value not equal to the “head” value, then define the “while” loop to assign the “nodePtr” into “previousNode”.
    • By using “if” condition, delete the “previousNode” pointer.
• Define the destructor to destroy the values in the list.
  • Declare the structure pointer variables “nodePtr”, and “nextNode” for the structure named “ListNode”.
  • Initialize the “head” value into the “nodePtr”.
  • Define a “while” loop to make the links of node into “nextNode” and remove the node using “delete” operator.
• Declare a class template and define a function named “getFirst()” to get a  first value from the list.
  • Declare a variable “status” in type of “boolean” and initialize the “head” value into the “placeHolder”.
  • Change the value of “status” into “true”, if the value available in “placeHolder”.
  • Return the value of “status” into called function.
• Declare a class template and define a function named “getNext()” to get a  another value from the list.
  • Declare a variable “status” in type of “boolean”.
  • Initialize the next node value of “placeHolder” into “placeHolder”.
  • Change the value of “status” into “true”, if the next node value available in “placeHolder”.
  • Return the value of “status” into called function.

main.cpp:

• Include the required header files into the program.
• Declare the function prototypes to get employee information from user.
• In “main()” function, create a object for “LinkedList” template class.
• Define the function named “getEmployeeIds()” with an object of “LinkedList” class.
  • Declare the variable named “anotherOne” and initialize it as “y”.
  • Declare the variable named “id” in type of “long”.
  • Make a call to the function “appendNode()” with value of “id”.
  • Prompt the user to get another value from user.
• Define the function named “getEmployeeInfo()” with an object of “LinkedList” class.
  • Declare the variables named “idNum”, “hours”, “payRate”, and “grossPay”.
  • Using “if…else” condition check whether the list is empty or not.
    • If list contains data, make a call to a function “getData()” to get the values from user.
      • Make a call to “appendNode” using objects; insert the values into the list.
    • Otherwise, display appropriate message on the screen.
• Define the function named “getData()” with an arguments.
  • Prompt and get the values of “hours” and “payRate” from user to calculate the value of “grossPay”.
• Define the function named “displayWages()” with an objects for linked list.
  • Declare the variables for the method.
  • Using “while” loop to display all values from the list.
