And another C program using a linked list of potential student interest ...

Code: [Select]
/*
    Student Registration program in C using a linked-list of struct Student

    9 data items ...

    1. Student national id ... an unique integer > 0
    2. and 3. Student names last, first ... C strings
    4. Date of birth dob (can calculate age from this) yyyymmdd
    5. CXC (subjects) grades: I, II, III, ..., VI
                          and A, B, C ..., F (profile grades)
    6. CAPE(subjects) grades: I, II, III, ..., VII
                          and A, B, C, ..., G (profile grades)
    Core Subjects 1..6 ... the grades can be input like this: 112233AABBCC
    to signify for #'ed subjects below 1=1, 2=1, 3=2, 4=2, 5=3, 6=3
                                       1=A, 2=A, 3=B, 4=B, 5=C, 6=6, etc ...

        3 - Functional French,
        4 - Functional Spanish,
        5 - Information Technology, and
        6 - Statistical Analysis

Cvec: Here is the beginning of an emulation, in C, of the C++ push_back of a vector ...

(And following this Cvec ... is an emulation, Clist, that uses a stable mergesort for that linked-list of struct's ... instead of the qsort used for this 'Cvec' dynamic array of struct's.)

(Note: file readLine.h ... and file readWord.h ... are provided below this Cvec example.)

Code: [Select]
/* Rec's4qsortEditDelete2.c */
moved to here ...

http://developers-heaven.net/forum/index.php/topic,466.msg671.html#msg671

(See also the other pages there for CVec and Clist upgrades and example programs.)

Here are some snippets for C++ strings that you may like to have added to your library ...



// default delimiter string is "\t " ( i.e. tab or space)  ... returns a C++ STL list of strings

list < string > split( const string& s, const string delimits = "\t " );

(
   Note: I hope to soon have a C version for splitting a C string into a returned list of tokens ...
   EDIT: NOW DONE! see ...
   http://developers-heaven.net/forum/index.php/topic,106.msg591.html#msg591
   
   Also ... there is a C version of these strip/trim functions ... following ...

Addendum:  you may like to see these comments that were posted re. this above C strip/trim code ...

Quote
Comments at:

http://www.dreamincode.net/code/snippet5356.htm

1.
Don't use free() on a pointer returned by lstrip or strip or chaos might happen at runtime. If you need to use lstrip or strip on a malloc'd string, keep a copy of the value returned from malloc so you can pass it to free() later.


Reply to 1. part a ...
Good point re. dynamic C strings ... since lstrip/ltrim or strip/trim WILL change the value of the pointer to the dynamic C string if it skips over leading whitespace ... (whereas rstrip/rtrim ... is safe from this potential problem.) You may also like to see a C++ version here: http://developers-heaven.net/forum/index.php/topic,106.msg576.html#msg576


Reply to 1. part b ...
One quick solution to the above potential problem of ltrim or trim of leading whitespace in dynamic strings passed in ... would be to ... 1. save a copy of the pointer to the passed in dynamic memory C string at the top of the ltrim/trim functions ... 2. if ltrim happens ... copy the trimmed string into new dynamic memory before returning and free the old string via the saved pointer This way, the pointer returned will be valid for a later pass to 'free' the dynamic C string memory

Updated now (elsewhere on this forum ) to use memmove to move the right sized block of char's that was just left trimmed ... Forward to front positions in C string (char array)

Now, continuing with C ...


Two demo programs of some C linked list basics/fun with pointers (and passing "reference pointers" in C) ...

First without using typedef (and then following, see the enhanced and simplified version that uses typedef) ...


(Without typedef)

Code: [Select]
/* list_stuff.c */

/* this version 2010-05-07 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

/*
    Note:
    1. for circular lists the tail points back to the head, instead of NULL
    2. for circular lists the tail is tracked/passed ... thus: head = tail->next
*/

struct Node
{
    int data;
    struct Node* next;
};

/* NON-circular list head pointer is passed in to p, a local copy */
void show( struct Node* p )
{
    if( p == NULL ) { puts( "... empty" ); return; }
    
    for( ; p != NULL; p = p->next )
        printf( "%d ", p->data );
    putchar( '\n' );
}

/* determine if the list is circular ... or NULL terminated */
int isCyclic(struct Node *head)/* Note: reports empty list as NON-cyclic ... */
{
    struct Node* start = head;
    for( ;; )
    {
        if( start==NULL || start->next==NULL ) return 0;
        else if( start->next == head ) return 1;
        else start = start->next;
    }
}

/* show list: (1) tail points to NULL ... or (2) tail points back to head */
void showCyclic( struct Node* p )
{
    struct Node* cur = p;
