Project: Singly Linked List Implementation

A project for Data Structures by Brandon Kennedy during the Fall 2011 Semester.

This project was begun on September 19th and is anticipated to take until Friday September 23rd. (Upon completion you can correct this with the actual length).

Objectives

The purpose behind this project is to better understand the use/order of linked list code. The Linked List will be implemented with string data type and will print out the given strings in alphabetical order.

Prerequisites

In order to successfully accomplish/perform this project, the listed resources/experiences need to be consulted/achieved:

  • Example to reference -check
  • Brief understanding of linked lists -check
  • Time to do it… -not check…

Background

The purpose behind this project is to have a list where words can be entered, one at a time, possibly from a file, not sure if i will get that far. And print out the words given in alphabetical order.

Lists like these can be helpful when organizing names of students, faculty, business employees, etc.

Upon approval, you'll want to fill this section out with more detailed background information. DO NOT JUST PROVIDE A LINK.

Providing any links to original source material, such as from a project page, is a good idea.

Scope

This implementation will be focused on accepting words or names and sorting them into an alphabetical list and printing out the names in that alphabetical order.

Attributes

State and justify the attributes you'd like to receive upon successful approval and completion of this project.

  • attribute1: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
  • attribute2: why you feel your pursuit of this project will gain you this attribute
  • etc…

Procedure

The actual steps taken to accomplish the project. Include images, code snippets, command-line excerpts; whatever is useful for intuitively communicating important information for accomplishing the project.

Code

Upon completion of the project, if there is an applicable collection of created code, place a copy of your finished code within <code> </code> blocks here.

/*
 * hello.c - A sample "Hello, World!" program
 * 
 * written by NAME for COURSE on DATE
 *
 * compile with:
 *   gcc -o hello hello.c
 *
 * execute with:
 *   ./hello
 */
 
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main()
{
    printf("Hello, World!\n");    // Output message to STDOUT
    return(0);
}

Execution

Again, if there is associated code with the project, and you haven't already indicated how to run it, provide a sample run of your code:

lab46:~/src/cprog$ ./hello
Hello, World!
lab46:~/src/cprog$ 

Reflection

Comments/thoughts generated through performing the project, observations made, analysis rendered, conclusions wrought. What did you learn from doing this project?

References

In performing this project, the following resources were referenced:

  • URL1
  • URL2
  • URL3 (provides useful information on topic)
  • URL4

Generally, state where you got informative and useful information to help you accomplish this project when you originally worked on it (from Google, other wiki documents on the Lab46 wiki, etc.)
