    Write a program to reverse linklist normal & recursive, which way is efficient normal or recursive.

    View Answer| Discuss in Forum| Bookmark Your Question To Reading List | Tag this Question Asked In
    Answer:
    Non-Recursive
    ========

    void reverse(struct node ** head)
    {
    struct node* prev = NULL;
    struct node* current = *head;
    struct node* next;
    while (current != NULL)
    {
    next = current->next;
    current->next = prev;
    prev = current;
    current = next;
    }
    *head = prev;
    }
    This trick might help you
    there are three pointer ( prev, current, next)
    next = current*
    current* = prev
    prev = current
    current = next

    if we see from above logic then before = is like top to bottom then bottom to top .
    * marked pointer will have next.

    Recursive
    =======


    struct node * recLinkedList(struct node *head, struct node *prev)
    {
    struct node *tmp = head->next;
    head->next = prev;
    if ( tmp != NULL)
    recLinkedList(tmp, head);

    return head
    }

    int main()
    {
    struct node *head = recLinkedList (head, NULL);
    }

    What is bridge and its benefit

    View Answer| Discuss in Forum| Bookmark Your Question To Reading List | Tag this Question Asked In
    Answer:
    A bridge is a product that connects a local area network (LAN) to another local area network that uses the same protocol (for example, Ethernet or Token Ring). You can envision a bridge as being a device that decides whether a message from you to someone else is going to the local area network in your building or to someone on the local area network in the building across the street.

    Answer:
    a) When memory block requires to be copied then memcpy is useful

    when data in the form of string need to be copied then strncpy is useful because of the natural advantage of '\0' terminated string.

    b) memcpy() can copy data with embedded null characters.
