Multi Linked List Data Structures in C

[Ahsan Ali]

How to make a class data base using multi linked list data structures(in C)?.

In class's Database : one column for 'Subjects' and other one for 'student's Roll Nos' . Now the task is to point 'subject' to the respective 'student'...
I know single and double linked list ... But I have never worked with 2-D linked list.
Please anyone help me out?

It's the same as working with a linked list where each node is itself a linked list in it's own right. That is, you have a node pointer as the data in the node. That is your start node for the second dimension list.

You will need one set of functions to manage a list where the nodes contain a node pointer as data as well as second set of functions to manage a list where the nodes contain a pointer to actual data.

I am giving you the code similar to one you asked for(you will never find codes or questions on multi linked list on net! So make sure you undertand it by heart..)

#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
struct scorel
{
int no;
struct scorel *rp;
};
struct namel
{
char a[10];
struct scorel *rp;
struct namel *dp;
};
void main()
{
int i,j,n,m;
struct namel *temp,*head,*end,**s;
struct scorel *tmp,*had,*nd;
clrscr();
printf("enter no of students");
scanf("%d",&n);
end=NULL;
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
temp=(struct namel*)malloc(sizeof(struct namel));
printf("enter name\n");
scanf("%s",temp->a);
temp->rp=NULL;
temp->dp=NULL;
*(s+i)=temp;
if(end==NULL)
{
end=head=temp;
}
else
{
end->dp=temp;
end=temp;
}
printf("enter no of scores");
scanf("%d",&m);
nd=NULL;
for(j=0;j<m;j++)
{
tmp=(struct scorel*)malloc(sizeof(struct scorel));
printf("enter score\n");
scanf("%d",&tmp->no);
tmp->rp=NULL;
if(nd==NULL)
{
nd=had=tmp;
temp->rp=tmp;
}
else
{
nd->rp=tmp;
nd=tmp;
}
}
}
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
temp=*(s+i);
printf("%s-->",temp->a);
tmp=temp->rp;
while(tmp!=NULL)
{
printf("%d-->",tmp->no);
tmp=tmp->rp;
}
printf("\n");
}
getch();
}
