Insert a Node at the Tail of a Linked List

  • AnuragPatil + 7 comments

    Please suggest , unable to find out mistake in this :

    Node* Insert(Node *head,int data)
{
Node *temp;
temp->data = data;
temp->next = NULL;

if(head == NULL)
  {
  head = temp;
}
else
  {
  Node *p;
  p = head;
  while(p->next != NULL)
      p = p->next;
  p->next = temp;
}
return(head);
}

    Showing no response in output :(

      you do not assign the address to pointer temp Node* Insert(Node *head,int data) { Node *temp; temp=new Node(); //That's the statement missing temp->data = data; temp->next = NULL;

      if(head == NULL) { head = temp; } else { Node *p; p = head; while(p->next != NULL) p = p->next; p->next = temp; } return(head); }

        p->next=temp; 

//in cpp , giving a segmentation fault

        why is the above code giving me segmentation fault

          When you exit the while loop you have a pointer pointing to nowhere. It didn't matter on the Print exercise, but here it does.

          In your else statement, create another Node* pointer variable (*tail, for instance), and make it receive your *p at each iteration.

          At the last iteration, it will be pointing to the last Node structure, which will be the tail of the linked list. Then your p->next=temp; will work :-) !

          pointer temp needs to have assigned an adress

          Node *temp=new Node();

        nice code

      • abbhishek971 + 6 comments

        This is my solution in C++14

        Node* Insert(Node *head,int data)
{
    Node *temp = new Node();
    temp->data = data;
    temp->next = NULL;
   if(head==NULL)
   {
       head = temp;
   }
   else if(head->next==NULL)
   {
            head->next = temp;
            return head;
    }
    else
    {
        Insert(head->next,data);
    }
    return head;
}

          what is the difference bet Node* temp and Node *temp.?

          • abbhishek971 + 0 comments

            Apologies for the delay in reply.

            There's no difference. Both the notations result in the same identifier declaration.

        • shubhvratj + 3 comments

          SinglyLinkedListNode* insertNodeAtTail(SinglyLinkedListNode* head, int data) {

              SinglyLinkedListNode *new_node,*ptr;
    new_node = new SinglyLinkedListNode();

        new_node->next = NULL;
return head;    
    }

          }

          can you please help me with this code?

          • abhishekjoshi261 + 0 comments

            Node* Insert(Node *head,int data) { struct Node *temp,*tail,*ptr; temp=new Node; temp->data=data; temp->next=NULL; if(head==NULL) { head=temp;} else { ptr=head; while(ptr!=NULL) { tail=ptr; ptr=ptr->next; } tail->next=temp; } return head;

            }

            bro i think you missed the struct function and above is the soln that worked for me pm me if you find any problem

            Here's my solution in C++14. The class definition of SinglyLinkedListNode specifies that the constructor has an argument which is the data part of the node to be inserted.

            SinglyLinkedListNode* insertNodeAtTail(SinglyLinkedListNode* head, int num){

            SinglyLinkedListNode* node = new SinglyLinkedListNode(num);
node->data = num;
node->next = NULL;

if(head == NULL){
    head = node;
}

else{
    SinglyLinkedListNode* temp;
    temp = head;
    while(temp->next != NULL){
        temp = temp->next;
    }
    temp->next = node;
}

return head;

            }

          how can i remove this error?

          solution.cc:47:1: error: ‘Node’ does not name a type; did you mean ‘modf’?

          please help.

    • jackie88812 + 0 comments

      you need memory space before temp->data = data;

      It's my suggestion below: Node *temp = (Node *)malloc(sizeof(Node)); temp->data = data; temp->NULL;

    • Vneel + 0 comments

      the statement p->next=temp; needs to be out of the while loop. You assign after you traverse the whole list, not at every node.

    • kartikaythakkar + 1 comment

      Node* Insert(Node *head,int data) { Node *temp=new Node(); temp->data=data; temp->next=NULL; if(head==NULL){ head=temp; } else{ Node *p; p=head; while(p->next !=NULL){ p=p->next; } p->next=temp; } return head; }

      same as mine. did u resolve it.

    • praveen_dakshan1 + 0 comments

      in your while loop , it should not be there(p->next=temp).
