Explanation of Solution

Purpose of the given code:

The given code is used to display the second element in a list “myList”. This list contains three elements.

Given code:

/* Set a reference "ref" to the first node in the list "myList" */

Node ref = myList; //Line 1

/* Increment the value of "ref" */

ref++;//Line 2

/* Display the element in the "ref" */

System.out.print(ref.value); //Line 3

Error in the given code:

  • The error is present in “line 2” of given code. If user needs move on to the next node, then they should set a reference to the successor of the existing node. That is assign “ref” to “ref.next”.
  • Therefore, user should replace “ref = ref.next” in the place of “ref++”...

What does the following function do for a given Linked List?  void fun1(struct node* head){if(head == NULL)return;fun1(head->next);printf("%d ", head->data);}
Apart from the main list in the list above, elements with the same value are also linked. According to this; a) Write the Generic Node class. b) Write the method that adds a new element to the end of the list.   JAVA CODE
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) {     }
