Sum of the nodes of a Singly Linked List

Given a singly linked list. The task is to find the sum of nodes of the given linked list.
 

Task is to do A + B + C + D.

Examples: 
 

Input: 7->6->8->4->1
Output: 26
Sum of nodes:
7 + 6 + 8 + 4 + 1 = 26

Input: 1->7->3->9->11->5
Output: 36

 

Recursive Solution: 
 

Below is the implementation of above approach: 
 




// C++ implementation to find the sum of
// nodes of the Linked List
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
/* A Linked list node */
struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node* next;
};
  
// function to insert a node at the
// beginning of the linked list
void push(struct Node** head_ref, int new_data)
{
    /* allocate node */
    struct Node* new_node = new Node;
  
    /* put in the data */
    new_node->data = new_data;
  
    /* link the old list to the new node */
    new_node->next = (*head_ref);
  
    /* move the head to point to the new node */
    (*head_ref) = new_node;
}
  
// function to recursively find the sum of
// nodes of the given linked list
void sumOfNodes(struct Node* head, int* sum)
{
    // if head = NULL
    if (!head)
        return;
  
    // recursively traverse the remaining nodes
    sumOfNodes(head->next, sum);
  
    // accumulate sum
    *sum = *sum + head->data;
}
  
// utility function to find the sum of  nodes
int sumOfNodesUtil(struct Node* head)
{
  
    int sum = 0;
  
    // find the sum of  nodes
    sumOfNodes(head, &sum);
  
    // required sum
    return sum;
}

Output: 
Sum of nodes = 26

 

Time Complexity: O(N) , N is the number of nodes in a linked list. 
Auxiliary Space: O(N), only if the stack size is considered during recursive calls.
Iterative Solution: 
 

  1. Initialize a pointer ptr with the head of the linked list and a sum variable with 0.
  2. Start traversing the linked list using a loop until all the nodes get traversed.
    • Add the value of current node to the sum i.e. sum += ptr -> data .
    • Increment the pointer to the next node of linked list i.e. ptr = ptr ->next .
  3. Return the sum.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

// nodes of the Linked List
