Program Description Answer
The “head pointer” points to the first node in a linked list.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Linked list:
Linked list is a linear and dynamic data structure which is used to organize data; it contains sequence of elements which are connected together in memory to form a chain. The every element of linked list is called as a node.
Head pointer:
The purpose of head pointer is to point the node of head node or first node in the linked list and it is also called as “list head”; if the head pointer points to a null value, then it is considered that the list is empty.
Graphical representation of head pointer:
The graphical representation of head pointer is as follows:

5. A linked list that stores int values would be comprised of a group of Nodes. Wemight define the Node by
A. class Node
{Node next;}B. class Node{int next;}
C. class Node
{
int data;
D. class Node
{
int data;Node next;
}
( JAVA LANGUAGE ) Create and print a linked list with four (4) elements.
Ice cream flavors will be the basis of the required values for the linked list
True or False
A Node in a Singly Linked List has both references to its next node and its previous node.

- Create a C++ linked list class for integers. Appending, inserting, and removing nodes should be class member functions. Add a list destructor. Drive the class. Add a print function to your linked list class. Display all linked list values. Start with an empty list, add elements, and print the list to test the class.arrow_forwardThe definition of linked list is given as follows: struct Node { ElementType Element ; struct Node *Next ; } ; typedef struct Node *PtrToNode, *List, *Position; If L is head pointer of a linked list, then the data type of L should be ??arrow_forwardLinked list. Complete the function that takes as a parameter the head of a linked list and prints the linked list in reverse order. If the linked list had the contents: of,the,and,on,a,an,ok. Then the correct output would be: ok,an,a,on,and,the,of. Given: struct node { char word[31]; struct node *prev, next; }; void print_reverse(struct node *head) { }arrow_forward
- Functions that look at a linked list but do not modify it are referred to as______________arrow_forwardint F(node<int>&p){int c=0; while(p!=0){p=p->next; c++; } return c;} This function is a. return the number of items in the linked list b. return the number of items in a linked list and destroy the linked list c. None of these d. destroy the list and free all allocated nodesarrow_forwardA linked list is a collection of items that are connected together.arrow_forward
