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

Every node in a linked list has two components: one to store the relevant information and one to store the address. (1) Mark the statements as true or false.

T/F: All Linked Lists must have head node.

Create two linked lists and then make a concatList(NODE **list1, NODE **list2) function that concatenates the two lists. The concatenated list must be a linked list. Fill in the "Write code here" sections appropriately.

It is a to the next node in the linked list, which is the property after it in the Node class.

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.

The 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 ??

Linked 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) {
}

Functions that look at a linked list but do not modify it are referred to as______________
arrow_forward
int 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 nodes
arrow_forward
A linked list is a collection of items that are connected together.
