Circular Doubly Linked List - Insert a new node at the given position
In this method, a new element is inserted at the specified position in the circular doubly linked list. For example - if the given list is 10->20->30 and a new element 100 is added at position 2, the list becomes 10->100->20->30.
First, create two nodes: 1. newNode with given element and 2. temp to traverse through the list. After that count the number of elements in the list to check whether the insertion position is valid or not (It must lie in the range of [1, n + 1], where n is number of elements in the list). If the insertion position is valid and equal to 1 then make the newNode as head and adjust links accordingly. If the insertion position is valid and greater than 1 then traverse to the specified position and insert the newNode and adjust links accordingly.
The function push_at is created for this purpose. It is a 5-step process.
void push_at(int newElement, int position) { //1. allocate node to new element and // create a temp node to traverse the list Node* newNode = new Node(); newNode->data = newElement; newNode->next = NULL; Node* temp = head; int NoOfElements = 0; //2. Find the number of elements in the list if(temp != NULL) { NoOfElements++; temp = temp->next; } while(temp != head) { NoOfElements++; temp = temp->next; } //3. check if the insertion position is valid if(position < 1 || position > (NoOfElements+1)) { cout<<"\nInavalid position."; } else if (position == 1) { //4. if the position is 1, make next of the // new node as head and new node as head if(head == NULL) { head = newNode; head->next = head; head->prev = head; } else { while(temp->next != head) { temp = temp->next; } temp->next = newNode; newNode->prev = temp; newNode->next = head; head->prev = newNode; head = newNode; } } else { //5.
