Divide the given linked list in two lists of size ratio p:q in C++ Program
In this tutorial, we are going to write a program that divides the given linked list into a p:q ratio
It's a straightforward program. Let's see the steps to solve the problem.
Create a struct for the linked list node.
Initialize the linked list with dummy data.
Initialize the p:q ratio.
Find the length of the linked list.
If the length of the linked list is less than p + q, then it's not possible to divide the linked into a p:q ratio.
Else iterate the linked list until p.
After the p iterations, remove the link and create a new head for the second linked list.
Now, print the two parts of the linked list.
Example
Let's see the code.
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
struct Node {
int data;
Node *next;
Node(int data) {
this->data = data;
this->next = NULL;
}
};
void printLinkedList(Node* head) {
Node *temp = head;
while (temp) {
cout << temp->data << " -> ";
temp = temp->next;
}
cout << "NULL" << endl;
}
void splitLinkedList(Node *head, int p, int q) {
int n = 0;
Node *temp = head;
// finding the length of the linked list
while (temp != NULL) {
n += 1;
temp = temp->next;
}
// checking wether we can divide the linked list or not
if (p + q > n) {
cout << "Can't divide Linked list" << endl;
}
else {
temp = head;
while (p > 1) {
temp = temp->next;
p -= 1;
}
// second head node after splitting
Node *head_two = temp->next;
temp->next = NULL;
// printing linked lists
printLinkedList(head);
printLinkedList(head_two);
}
}
int main() {
Node* head = new Node(1);
head->next = new Node(2);
head->next->next = new Node(3);
head->next->next->next = new Node(4);
head->next->next->next->next = new Node(5);
head->next->next->next->next->next = new Node(6);
int p = 2, q = 4;
splitLinkedList(head, p, q);
}Output
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
1 -> 2 -> NULL 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> NULL
