listforeach

Instructions

Write a function ListForEach that applies a function given as argument to the data within each node of the list l.

• The function given as argument must have a pointer as argument: l *List

• Copy the functions Add2_node and Subtract3_node in the same file as the function ListForEach is defined.

Expected function and structure

type NodeL struct {
	Data interface{}
	Next *NodeL
}

type List struct {
	Head *NodeL
	Tail *NodeL
}

func ListForEach(l *List, f func(*NodeL)) {
}

func Add2_node(node *NodeL) {
	switch node.Data.(type) {
	case int:
		node.Data = node.Data.(int) + 2
	case string:
		node.Data = node.Data.(string) + "2"
	}
}

func Subtract3_node(node *NodeL) {
	switch node.Data.(type) {
	case int:
		node.Data = node.Data.(int) - 3
	case string:
		node.Data = node.Data.(string) + "-3"
	}
}

Usage

Here is a possible program to test your function :

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	piscine ".."
)

func main() {
	link := &piscine.List{}

	piscine.ListPushBack(link, "1")
	piscine.ListPushBack(link, "2")
	piscine.ListPushBack(link, "3")
	piscine.ListPushBack(link, "5")

	piscine.ListForEach(link, piscine.Add2)

	it := link.Head
	for it != nil {
		fmt.Println(it.Data)
		it = it.Next
	}
}

And its output :
