Singly Linked Lists - Implementation and Basic Operations #
Welcome to Day 8 of our 60 Days of Coding Algorithm Challenge! Today, we’ll dive deeper into singly linked lists, implementing a more comprehensive version and exploring various operations.
Singly Linked List Structure #
A singly linked list consists of nodes where each node contains data and a pointer to the next node. The last node points to None, indicating the end of the list.
1class Node:
2 def __init__(self, data):
3 self.data = data
4 self.next = None
Implementing a Singly Linked List #
Let’s implement a singly linked list with several basic operations:
1class SinglyLinkedList:
2 def __init__(self):
3 self.head = None
4
5 def is_empty(self):
6 return self.head is None
7
8 def append(self, data):
9 new_node = Node(data)
10 if self.is_empty():
11 self.head = new_node
12 else:
13 current = self.head
14 while current.next:
15 current = current.next
16 current.next = new_node
17
18 def prepend(self, data):
19 new_node = Node(data)
20 new_node. …
