Introduction

Currently I'm studying computer science to move on into Computational Neuroscience. The field of Computational Neuroscience has always interested me, and I believe that with better models and research into the brain we will be able to find the causes and how to heal many mental disorders.

Fix your makefile for node0: Change into your node0 folder then issue fixit

[NULL↔(12)↔(57)↔(26)↔NULL] doubly linked list^^

linked lists cplist() copy list rmlist() removes the list element by element mklist() makes the list? insert() add a node BEFORE specified node append() add a node AFTER specified node obtain() disconnect specified node from list displayf() Display list from the beginning to the end displayb() Display list from the end to the beginning search() sortlist() swap()

There are new files in:

./src/node/
./testing/node/app/
./testing/node/unit/

Each function is in it's own file:

./src/node/mk.c - make   node
./src/node/rm.c - remove node
./src/node/cp.c - copy   node

Code

Node *tmp3, *tmp4;
tmp3 = mknode(8);
tmp4 = cpnode(tmp3);

tmp3 → (8) → NULL ← (8) ← tmp4

tmp3 = rmnode(tmp3);

NULL ← (8) ← tmp4

malloc allocates;

free deallocates;

insert before append after

tmp →NULL tmp2 →(13)

Insert node into empty list, node becomes the list tmp →(13)← tmp2

insert tmp before tmp2

tmp2→(x)

0x3:	Cannot access memory at address 0x3
(gdb) x input

whatis <variable> - displays variable type!

(gdb) whatis input

swap node

1.bmp

Bad!

badswapnode.c

Node *tmp3 = mknode(tmp->value);
tmp->value=tmp2->value;
tmp2->value=tmp3->value;
free(tmp3);

good!

Obtain node

Pulls node from list, patches hole in list, keeps pulled node. 3.bmp

obtain_1.c

myList = obtain(myList, &tmp)
{
    int pos       = getpos(myList, &tmp);
    Node          *tmp2;
    tmp2          = setpos(myList, pos-1);
    tmp2->next    = tmp->next;
 
    *(tmp)->next  = NULL;
 
    myList->qty--;
 
    return(myList);
}

obtain_1_optimized.c

myList = obtain(myList, &tmp)
{
    Node *tmp     = setpos(myList, getpos(myList, tmp)-1);
    tmp2->next    = tmp->next;
 
    *(tmp)->next  = NULL;
 
    myList->qty--;
 
    return(myList);
}

4.bmp

use.c

myList = obtain(mylist, &tmp);

Implementation tips

(*tmp)->value

Misc. Notes

Obtain is the only function in our linkedlist library where we will pass by value;

Passing variables

Pass by value
- Passes copy
- myList=insert(myList,tmp,tmp2);
Pass by address/reference
- changes happen outside of the function
- pointers!

Unbounded
- Unlimited in size
Bounded
- Limited in size
Stack Overflow
- Adding more than the stack allows
Stack Underflow
- Removing more than there is on the stack (“negative”)

Functions

push
- Add to stack
pop
- Remove from stack
peek
- look at the top
isempty
- is the list empty, used, or broke?
mkstack
- make stack
cpstack
- copy stack
rmstack
- remove stack

Misc.

qty
- This asshole is back.
size
- Maximum size of stack
- 0 = infinite size.
- int = max size
- negative = error
