Number is represented in linked list such that each digit corresponds to a node in linked list. Add 1 to it. For example 1999 is represented as (1-> 9-> 9 -> 9) and adding 1 to it should change it to (2->0->0->0)
Below are the steps :
- Reverse given linked list. For example, 1-> 9-> 9 -> 9 is converted to 9-> 9 -> 9 ->1.
- Start traversing linked list from leftmost node and add 1 to it. If there is a carry, move to the next node. Keep moving to the next node while there is a carry.
- Reverse modified linked list and return head.
Below is C++ implementation of above steps.
// C++ program to add 1 to a linked list #include<bits/stdc++.h> /* Linked list node */struct Node { int data; Node* next; }; /* Function to create a new node with given data */Node *newNode(int data) { Node *new_node = new Node; new_node->data = data; new_node->next = NULL; return new_node; } /* Function to reverse the linked list */Node *reverse(Node *head) { Node * prev = NULL; Node * current = head; Node * next; while (current != NULL) { next = current->next; current->next = prev; prev = current; current = next; } return prev; } /* Adds one to a linked lists and return the head node of resultant list */Node *addOneUtil(Node *head) { // res is head node of the resultant list Node* res = head; Node *temp, *prev = NULL; int carry = 1, sum; while (head != NULL) //while both lists exist { // Calculate value of next digit in resultant list. // The next digit is sum of following things // (i) Carry // (ii) Next digit of head list (if there is a // next digit) sum = carry + head->data; // update carry for next calulation carry = (sum >= 10)? 1 : 0; // update sum if it is greater than 10 sum = sum % 10; // Create a new node with sum as data head->data = sum; // Move head and second pointers to next nodes temp = head; head = head->next; } // if some carry is still there, add a new node to // result list. if (carry > 0) temp->next = newNode(carry); // return head of the resultant list return res; } // This function mainly uses addOneUtil(). Node* addOne(Node *head) { // Reverse linked list head = reverse(head); // Add one from left to right of reversed // list head = addOneUtil(head); // Reverse the modified list return reverse(head); } // A utility function to print a linked list void printList(Node *node) { while (node != NULL) { printf("%d", node->data); node = node->next; } printf("\n"); } /* Driver program to test above function */int main(void) { Node *head = newNode(1); head->next = newNode(9); head->next->next = newNode(9); head->next->next->next = newNode(9); printf("List is "); printList(head); head = addOne(head); printf("\nResultant list is "); printList(head); return 0; } |
Output:
List is 1999 Resultant list is 2000
Recursive Implementation:
We can recursively reach the last node and forward carry to previous nodes. Recursive solution doesn’t require reversing of linked list. We can also use a stack in place of recursion to temporarily hold nodes.
Below is C++ implementation of recursive solution.
// Recursive C++ program to add 1 to a linked list #include<bits/stdc++.h> /* Linked list node */struct Node { int data; Node* next; }; /* Function to create a new node with given data */Node *newNode(int data) { Node *new_node = new Node; new_node->data = data; new_node->next = NULL; return new_node; } // Recursively add 1 from end to beginning and returns // carry after all nodes are processed. int addWithCarry(Node *head) { // If linked list is empty, then // return carry if (head == NULL) return 1; // Add carry returned be next node call int res = head->data + addWithCarry(head->next); // Update data and return new carry head->data = (res) % 10; return (res) / 10; } // This function mainly uses addWithCarry(). Node* addOne(Node *head) { // Add 1 to linked list from end to beginning int carry = addWithCarry(head); // If there is carry after processing all nodes, // then we need to add a new node to linked list if (carry) { Node *newNode = new Node; newNode->data = carry; newNode->next = head; return newNode; // New node becomes head now } return head; } // A utility function to print a linked list void printList(Node *node) { while (node != NULL) { printf("%d", node->data); node = node->next; } printf("\n"); } /* Driver program to test above function */int main(void) { Node *head = newNode(1); head->next = newNode(9); head->next->next = newNode(9); head->next->next->next = newNode(9); printf("List is "); printList(head); head = addOne(head); printf("\nResultant list is "); printList(head); return 0; } |
Output:
List is 1999 Resultant list is 2000
