listpushback

Instructions

Write a function SortListInsert that inserts Data_ref in the linked list, but it as to remain sorted in ascending order.

• The list as to be alredy sorted.

• Use pointers when ever you can.

Expected function and structure

type Nodee struct {
	Data int
	Next *Nodee
}

func SortListInsert(l *Nodee, Data_ref int) *Nodee{

}

Usage

Here is a possible program to test your function :

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	piscine ".."
)

//Prints the list
func PrintList(l *Nodee) {
	m := l
	for m != nil {
		fmt.Print(m.Data, " -> ")
		m = m.Next
	}
	fmt.Print(nil)
	fmt.Println()
}

//insert elements
func listPushBack(l *Nodee, Data int) {
	n := &Nodee{}
	n.Data = Data
	n.Next = nil
	if l == nil {
		l = n
		return
	}
	iterator := l
	for iterator.Next != nil {
		iterator = iterator.Next
	}
	iterator.Next = n
}

func main() {

	link := &Nodee{}

	listPushBack(link, 1)
	listPushBack(link, 4)
	listPushBack(link, 9)

	PrintList(link)

	link = sortListInsert(link, -2)
	link = sortListInsert(link, 2)
	PrintList(link)
}

And its output :

student@ubuntu:~/piscine/test$ ./test
-2 -> 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 4 -> 9 -> <nil>
