Algorithm to merge the lists together, Data Structure & Algorithms

Assignment Help:

Q. Let X = (X1, X2, X3,....Xn) and Y= (Y1, Y2, Y3,....Xm) be the two linked lists respectively. Write down an algorithm to merge the lists together to get the linked list Z such that

Z =  (X1, Y1, X2, Y2,....Xm, Ym,Xm+1....Xn) if m<=n or

Z = (X1, Y1,X2,Y2....Xn,Yn,Yn+1....Ym) if m>n.                                               

Ans.

void near (*head1,*head2,*head3)

{

p1 = head1;

p2 = head2;

p3 = head3;

if (p1 != NULL)

{

p3 = head3 = p1 ;

p1=p1     next ;

}

while (p1!= NULL && p2 != NULL)

{

p3      next = p2 ; p2=p2         next; p3=p3               next;

p3     next = p1; p1 = p1  next ; p3 = p3    next ;

}

for ( ; p1 != NULL; p1 = p1 ?  next)

{

p3      next = p1;

p3 = p3       next ;

}

for ( ; p2 != NULL ; p2 = p2 ?  next)

{

P2       next = p2 ;

p2 = p2   next ;

}
