#Doubly Linked List in C

[wobinbug]

I decided to sit my ass down and learn what a linked list is finally 🫣

It was shockingly uncomplicated 💀

I ended up implementing my own doubly linked list for integers in C and it was super helpful for understanding the data structure as well as a nice reminder about using pointers and manual memory allocation.

Of course, I wrote a few functions to do the following:

- Add to start of list

- Add to end of list

- Remove from start of list

- Remove from end of list

- Delete specific value

Of course, there's much more I can do, but I'm happy with where I'm at so far. Definitely a good exercise to get back into things before uni starts properly 😁

[pilot-boi]

More pop quiz:

Which data structure can be accurately described as First On, First Off (FIFO)

A. Doubly Linked List

B. Hashmap

C. Stack

D. Queue

Also how did you get into the West Wing? Josh was my favorite

It’s Queue, I’m pretty sure. And not because of any coding classes do I know this, but because this is how John Egbert’s sylladex operates

Josh is of course my favourite, as all of my favourites get the shit kicked out of him. I watch “What Kind Of Day Has It Been” “In The Shadow Of Two Gunman Pt. 1” so often it’s not even funny. “Noel” too

My favourite is probably “Celestial Navigation” (CJ gets root canal and everything dissolves from there). Or “20 Hours in America” (Josh, Toby, and Donna get fucking left behind in middle of nowhere USA”

That being said, I do also really love Toby. He’s such a big grumpy teddy bear

I hope you liked my little doodles of Josh, Sam, and Toby :]

I suppose I could buy naming the collection "Ancient Mediterranean and Near East," if they felt they couldn't justify separate dedicated collections for whatever reason. that would be slightly less confusing, and would force more specificity in "place of origin"/"place found" in the labeling. although I'd argue they could definitely more clearly divide Egypt and Classical & Near Eastern, at the very least. Given that they have a huge ass egypt collection.

[Actually side note: some of the Near East pieces i've clicked on read "Gift of Florence Day" who I recognize as a donor from my own time working at a different museum. ]

hilariously the museum DEFINITELY knows about the dionysus thing:

I actually understand the Greek helmet in the Jewish Life in Ancient Egypt exhibition more than the dionysus in the Tunisian synagogue choice. The former at least could have been there to very broadly represent the influence of Greece on Jews. There's also a statue of Alexander, and ancient Jews LOVED some Alexander the Great. I don't think they chose it to be accurate to a defined period of Greek rule in Egypt in that particular case, it's more thematic (I'm guessing) and symbolic for like, warfare, military powers, etc.

anyways the big body vessel dating issue -- one of y'all should send them a nice email about it! they list it in the online catalog entry:

Records are frequently reviewed and revised, and we welcome any additional information you might have: chief.curator@brooklynmuseum.org

TO SUMMARIZE:

the lady is correctly labelled as Greek online (OP's link) and therefore in their catalog

the name of the whole collection is confusing "egyptian, classical, and ancient near east" but collection =/= place of discovery or origin, so I don't love it, but it's not actually Incorrectly Labelled. OP misread the collection as just being Egyptian.

the dionysus statue is labelled as egyptian because the basalt is from egypt, and is probably a Roman Copy of a Greek original. ("Hadrianic or Antonine copy of a Hellenistic statue"). Weird, but not wrong for being on display in a 19th dynasty to Roman Period Egypt installation. This is obviously....Roman period in Egypt. The basalt was from Egypt.

why was it in an exhibition about an ancient Tunisian synagogue's mosaics? Most likely because it was Roman-Ruled Tunisia for part of the time of the synagogue's existence, and then Byzantine. The exhibition is covering a range of time, and also is illustrating the various cultures interacting with/surrounding the synagogue through it's history (and what came next). Hence the exhibition also has Greek, Coptic, and Islamic pieces as well. Even if they're too "Early" or "Late" for the era. I don't find this strange, since it's important to illustrate cultural and religious differences between Roman-Tunisians and Jews.

jewish life in egypt almost certainly had a greek helmet (again not period accurate to greek rule OF egypt, but it's not claiming that merely by being included) and statue of Alexander to generally illustrate a.) greek rule in egypt b) impact of greek warfare on the jews c) talking about the obsession with Alexander the Great among Jews d) also Hellenizing influences on ancient Jews in Egypt (huge deal). this is 100% understandable. I don't think it's weird. They used a helmet they had on hand that predates Greek rule in egypt rather than try to borrow something. Sensible and very explicable just based on educated guessing. I don't think either of the two jewish exhibition inclusions are all that crazy from a practical curatorial perspective. like if you guys have ever helped curate an exhibition, I don't think these choices are outside the bounds of reasonable, and that goes doubly when extant ancient Jewish material culture is often really hard to find for various reasons.

I suspect the 5th century/Hellenic Period is probably a typo on digitization entry, honestly. But @somecunttookmyurl, @its-ancient-history or @thatlittleegyptologist should send an email! they'll fix it i'm sure. that's the only true error.

love this egyptian figurine of a woman baking bread in the brooklyn museum. she looks exactly like me while i'm waiting for my food to be done in the microwave. truly an eternal experience

Java Collections Framework: A Comprehensive Guide

The Java Collection Framework (JCF) is one of the most important features of the Java programming language. It provides a unified framework for representing and managing collections, enabling developers to work more efficiently with data structures. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced Java developer, understanding the Java collection system is important. This comprehensive guide will delve into the basic design and implementation of the Java compilation system, highlighting its importance in modern Java programming. The basics of the Java collections framework At its core, the Java collections in Java with Examples consist of interfaces and classes that define collections. These collections can contain objects and provide functions such as insertion, deletion, and traversal. The main features of JCF include List, Set, and Map. Lists are ordered collections of objects, aggregates are unordered collections without duplicate objects, and maps are key-value pairs. Significant interactions with classes in the Java collection system List Interface: Lists in JCF are implemented by classes like ArrayList and LinkedList. ArrayList provides dynamic arrays, allowing quick access to elements, while LinkedList uses a doubly linked list internally, making insertion and deletion faster Set interfaces: Represent classes such as sets, HashSet and TreeSet, and do not allow duplicate elements. HashSet uses hashing techniques for fast access, while TreeSet maintains objects in sorted order, enabling efficient retrieval. Map Interface: Maps are represented by HashMap and TreeMap. HashMap uses hashing to store key-value pairs and provides a constant-time display for basic processing. TreeMap, on the other hand, maintains elements in a sorted tree structure, enabling operations in logarithmic time. Advantages of Java Collections Framework The concurrent Collections in Java Framework offers several benefits to developers: Re-usability: Pre-implemented classes and interfaces let developers focus on solving specific problems without worrying about downstream data structures Interactivity: Collections in JCF can store object by object, encouraging interactivity and allowing developers to work with multiple data types. Performance: The system is designed to be efficient. The algorithm is implemented in such a way that it is efficient in terms of time and memory consumption. Scalability: JCF supports scalability, allowing developers to handle large amounts of data without worrying about memory limitations. Frequent use of information in the Java collections system Data Storage and Retrieval: Lists, sets, and maps are widely used to store and retrieve data efficiently. Lists are suitable for sorted collections, aggregates for unique elements, and maps for key-value pairs. Algorithm Implementation: Java Collections Framework can be used to implement many algorithms such as search and sort. This simplifies the coding process and reduces the possibility of error. Concurrent control: Classes like ConcurrentHashMap and CopyOnWriteArrayList provide concurrent access to collections, ensuring thread safety in multi-threaded applications. Best practices for Java collections systems with examples 1. List Interface (ArrayList):import java.util.ArrayList;import java.util.List; public class ListExample {public static void main(String args) {List list = new ArrayList(); // Adding elements to the list list.add("Java"); list.add("Python"); list.add("C++"); // Accessing elements using index System.out.println("Element at index 1: " + list.get(1)); // Iterating through the list System.out.println("List elements:"); for (String language : list) { System.out.println(language); } // Removing an element list.remove("Python"); System.out.println("List after removing 'Python': " + list); } } 2. Set Interface (HashSet) import java.util.HashSet;import java.util.Set; public class SetExample {public static void main(String args) {Set set = new HashSet(); // Adding elements to the set set.add("Apple"); set.add("Banana"); set.add("Orange"); // Iterating through the set System.out.println("Set elements:"); for (String fruit : set) { System.out.println(fruit); } // Checking if an element exists System.out.println("Contains 'Apple': " + set.contains("Apple")); // Removing an element set.remove("Banana"); System.out.println("Set after removing 'Banana': " + set); } 3. Map Interface (HashMap):import java.util.HashMap;import java.util.Map; public class MapExample {public static void main(String args) {Map map = new HashMap(); // Adding key-value pairs to the map map.put("Java", 1); map.put("Python", 2); map.put("C++", 3); // Iterating through the map System.out.println("Map elements:"); for (Map.Entry entry : map.entrySet()) { System.out.println(entry.getKey() + ": " + entry.getValue()); } // Checking if a key exists System.out.println("Contains key 'Java': " + map.containsKey("Java")); // Removing a key-value pair map.remove("Python"); System.out.println("Map after removing 'Python': " + map); } Conclusion: In Java programming, the Java collections tutorial framework stands as the cornerstone of efficient data manipulation. Its versatile interfaces and classes empower developers to create complex applications, handling data structures with ease. Understanding the nuances of different types of collections, their functionality, and best practices is important for enabling Java developers aiming to build high-performance, scalable, and error-free applications Java collection concepts has been optimized to enable developers to unlock the full programming capabilities of Java Read the full article

as someone who basically exclusively interviews in c++... (as in: i once got an interview, got told it was for python on the interview.... then asked "can I do this in C++?")

its actually pretty nice! all of the caveats of using c++ in production (mostly) arent there if you're doing something completely self-contained, since you get to use all of C++11 (or even better, C++20)'s features, turning it basically into something like rust - just never touch new and delete and only use the STL and <memory> and you're good to go

also, python's "hashmap as default" realllly makes programming feel weird and the lack of typechecking in alot of places leads to (i find) programming where its easy to fuck up - the C++ compiler catches alot of what would be runtime errors in python

and of course, the C++ standard library has not just the kitchen sink but also the cutlery drawers, a wok or two for good measure and half a pantry of ingredients.

want quickselect? that's std::nth_element, want to use prefix sums? std::partial_sum. want to do permutations? well by god do we have the function for you (std::next_permutation)

every data structure i've wanted was implemented straight in C++ (with the one exception of a segtree, but i havent ever actually needed to use one) even (for some forsaken reason) a doubly-linked list, which I have actually used in a solution (you can insert at the end, then save the pointer to the element to remove it in O(1) time) without having to like actually code any of these damn things

so keep your head up! i complain about C++ but it isnt that bad - especially anything after 2011

hey congrats on reaching CM (? wanted to find the post where you mention that to confirm but tumblr search misbehaves). was curious as to how many problems you've solved on cf? I primarily picked it up cause ik it helped friends with interview stuff but I'm 2 months in stuck at ~1200 so wondering if I should be doing things differently. on one hand most problems <1400 are greedy or math so I worry an actual interview will be more "algorithmic" and I'll be unprepared (maybe leetcode is better in this regard?). on the other hand it's soo much easier to fantasise about being good at cp than actually practicing. so. anyway wondering if you had any advice on this? CM in one year does not sound like the journey of your average cf-er. congrats again. cheers!

Thank you!

(full disclosure: I've kind of fallen off with competitive programming - I haven't competed on codechef since January and codeforces/leetcode since April)

My solving totals, ratings, and number of contests are:

Leetcode: 824 problems, 2571 rating, 41 contests

Codeforces: 69 problems, 2000 rating, 14 contests

Codechef: 32 problems, 2046 rating, 4 contests

If you're looking for interview prep I would skip codeforces. Leetcode problems are closer to what you'll get in interviews, and their contests are much less of a time commitment. I also code in Rust on CF/CC and Python on Leetcode, and I much prefer to take interviews in Python.

If you snoop around a bit on reddit and the leetcode forums, you can often find lists of problems people have seen at a specific company's interviews to get a flavor of what you're up against. I really recommend this - the problem I struggled with the most in getting my current job was on one such list for my company and I wish I'd gone through the list. This was before I got really good, though.

I think my rapid growth was fueled by three things:

I did math competitions all the way through college that have a similar skillset

My college classes taught a lot of competitive programming concepts (I learned what a SegTree was in class!)

I had a period of 5 months between graduating and starting my job where I was unemployed and highly motivated, and I did a ton of grinding during that period. Most of my leetcode solves are from that time

If you're looking to improve but don't have a ton of time to burn, here's the regimen I recommended to another asker:

Doubly Linked List in C

A variant of a linked list called a doubly linked list in C makes it easier to navigate ahead and backwards than a single linked list. The linked list is one of the crucial ideas and data structures to understand when getting ready for interviews. In a coding interview, being well-versed in Linked Lists can be a significant asset. Many candidates enrol on coding platforms like PrepBytes to ace their coding interviews.  

Double Linked List in C 

A node in a doubly linked list in C carries a pointer to both the preceding and following node in the sequence, making it a more complex linked list. Consequently, a node in a doubly linked list has three components: node data, a pointer to the node after it in the sequence (the next pointer), and a pointer to the node before it (the previous pointer).

A doubly linked list’s memory representation

In general, doubly linked lists require extra space for each node, which makes fundamental operations like insertion and deletion more complicated. However, since the list keeps pointers in both directions, we can easily alter the list’s elements (forward and backwards). To know more about Doubly Linked List in C, Visit PrepBytes

This shouldn’t be as funny as it is:

“Fauchelevent had expected anything but this, that a grave-digger could die. It is true, nevertheless, that grave-diggers do die themselves. By dint of excavating graves for other people, one hollows out one’s own.  [ . . . . ]

“Father Mestienne is the grave-digger.”

“After Napoleon, Louis XVIII. After Mestienne, Gribier. Peasant, my name is Gribier.””

“Grave-diggers can also die” is a wild plot twist, especially since Hugo portrays it as a shocking fact. And Gribier’s matter-of-fact attitude (and his listing of political events, as if all of this is just “natural” turnover) is humorous in a dark way.

Gribier himself is fascinating. The fact that he has to provide for seven children links him to Jean Valjean, who had to care for the same number of children before his imprisonment. His need to work, then, is desperate, as we know just how hard it is to provide for so many. Avoiding drinking is one way of saving money, but it also speaks to the deprivation of small enjoyments for the poor. Drinking isn’t just a pleasure in itself, but a major way of socializing, as Fauchelevent notes here; by not accepting drinks, Gribier is not only dodging an expense, but a chance to get to know his coworker, one of the few people he has a chance at bonding with in a life dominated by work. Of course, this expense isn’t just hard on him. Fauchelevent is also nervous about the idea of paying for drinks, highlighting his own financial struggles. But Gribier is also even worse off, working two jobs and still having this worry. It’s notable that his jobs mean he literally works day and night: he writes by day and digs by night, not having any real time to rest. The extent to which he can keep this up is debatable. He doesn’t complain of the hours, but he does say that digging is ruining his hand, which he needs to write. He’ll ultimately be forced to choose, losing the funds of one job and likely his dream of writing. Work has consumed his life because he has no alternative if he wants to feed seven children, just as it had taken over Valjean’s existence.

Although the parallel to Jean Valjean is more blatantly referenced through the number, Gribier bears an even closer resemblance to an early Fauchelevent. When we first encountered him, Fauchelevent had just fallen on hard times, losing all the relative comfort he’d had as a notary but maintaining a sense of pride and superiority from that status. Gribier is certainly poor if he works all day and all night, but he also specifically came from an educated class (having studied even more than Fauchelevent). He’s fully literate, speaking of the examinations he’s passed; how he was destined for a career in literature; using words Fauchelevent can’t understand; and referencing philosophy in the middle of their conversation. His contempt for Fauchelevent also links to a rural-urban divide, with him addressing him as a “peasant” and a “rustic” to stress the differences between him, an educated Parisian, and the convent gardener from the countryside. His pride is even more extreme than Fauchelevent’s was, although he doesn’t necessarily have a specific target for his bitterness at his loss of status (unlike Fauchelevent with Father Madeleine). Gribier is doubly dangerous, then. On the one hand, his poverty keeps him from building ties with people that could ultimately create a system of support for him and bring him closer to others. On the other, he rejects these ties on the basis of his past status. He can’t feel solidarity for Fauchelevent if he feels superior to him, and while he does address him as “colleague,” he largely seems to look down on him.

This parallel is particularly interesting given that Fauchelevent is depicted the way Valjean typically is in this chapter. We see him as an outsider would, only being told who he is later on. We may know that Fauchelevent actually has quite a bit in common with Gribier, even if they differ because of their origins (city vs countryside) and the extent to which they rose and fell class-wise. But Gribier only sees that image from the beginning of the chapter: an elderly worker limping behind a hearse.

Sharing Saturday - a List of Fic Recs

I haven’t restricted this to a number but I���m also doing my best to keep it from going out of control, too.  I pretty much just have 2 consistent fandoms that I read/write so if you like either the MCU or Sherlock then this is the post for you!

MCU:

Adventures Throughout the Multiverse (Series) by Aelaer Jumping into different dimensions always involves risk. Sometimes you never know what sort of troubles you will run into until you have arrived. Thankfully, alongside these dangers a sorcerer is sometimes lucky enough to come upon unexpected allies.

In which Stephen encounters characters from characters from JRR Tolkien to even his own doppelgänger in Sherlock Holmes. I LOVE these!! Not only supremely clever and lovingly researched but just straight up entertaining as fuck!  @aelaer writes some of the best Doctor Strange fic that I’ve read on on top of all that is a spectacular artist besides!

Omertà by HanukoYoukai After chasing down the criminal that took Uncle Ben's life, Peter is found by James Wesley, the right-hand man of Wilson Fisk--a wealthy businessman trying to clean up Hell's Kitchen. Having left a strong impression on the man, soon Peter finds himself working for Fisk, doing an internship for his business projects by day, and catching bad guys at night. If Mr. Fisk wants a few specific criminals delivered to him personally, who is Peter to object? All his boss wants to do is talk, after all, and ever since this internship began, things were finally looking up for the Parkers. Then Peter hears the whispers in the underworld about the elusive and terrifying Kingpin, and somehow there are rumors that Spider-Man is on the Crime Lord's payroll. When he decides to use his own judgement and go against Mr. Fisk's wishes, Peter suddenly finds himself neck deep in mob activity with no means to get himself out. To make matters worse, now Iron Man has Peter in his sights.....

I LOVE her writing - the interpretations of Peter Parker and fantastic and do right by him in a big way.  Peter is actually the teenager I expect to encounter - with all of the nuance and emotion that I want to see!  On top of that THIS is some top notch Tony Stark - again, very true to canon with his Stark snark intact!

Identity Saga (Series) by KitCat992 An organically developed, platonic slow-burn of Avengers-fam dynamic with a heavy hand of Irondad & Spiderson. Throw in an overdose of whump, a couple of cunning villains and a big-bad hiding in the shadows, and you got yourself this hot mess.

Another stunning Peter Parker writer and OH my gosh if you are an IronDad fan and haven’t read this yet like what in THE hell are you doing?? Strap that seatbelt tight and paste your eyeballs to this series you will NOT be disappointed!

A Twisted Upheaval (WIP) by silentsaebyeok “I’m afraid, Harrison, you’ve awakened a sleeping giant.” Wilson said. “Tony Stark will do anything and everything to protect those he loves. And with your carelessness, it is inevitable that my criminal empire will be brought to its knees. This is your last opportunity, your last chance to get this right. He is on our radar now.” -- The Kingpin runs the criminal underworld. He is the mastermind and the puppeteer. Tony Stark has been trying to find the elusive gangster for years, but with no luck. But then Peter Parker is kidnapped by an agent of the Kingpin’s, revealing the cracks in an otherwise unshakeable organization. Unlikely alliances form and friendships are made as the criminal underworld begins to unravel.

*Smacks my desktop* THIS story!! It isn’t even completed yet but this fic is top level epic! This one, along with Omertà, got me totally hooked on Wilson Fisk interfering with both Peter and Tony and boy does it deliver on those dynamics!!

Sherlock:

Got My Eye on You (Series) by 7PercentSolution These stories cover just about everything from Greg's POV, from the first day they met when Sherlock was 17 through the pre-John years, John's arrival, their work together, the fall and the reunion, covering events in broadcast series 1-3 (and 4 eventually). If you ever wondered why Greg Lestrade was one of the three people Moriarty targeted, this is your answer. 

Frankly I love everything I’ve read so far - the stories are incredible and deep and not afraid to dig into hard subjects.  There is a wealth of backstory and Sherlock’s younger years and all the hardships he dealt with.  I’m especially in love with the OC, Sam - what a treasured character!

It takes John Watson to save your life. by Sparkypip A series of One shots where John saves Sherlock's life in so many ways. Will be updated sporadically as and when I get any time to write. As always I like my characters hurt, so plenty of angst, H/C, whump and bromance (no slash) will ensue. Please comment if you can.

These were some of the first Sherlock fics I ever read and I have been hooked on this writer to this day!  SO satisfyingly whumpy and on top of that many of the stories have their own comfort follow up story!!

A Sharp, Dressed Man 'verse (Series) by sgam76

I just love this series to bits and while the author considers is a break from heavier subjects, don’t for one second think that means it can’t take a deep dive into its own mythology nor deliver a freaking spectacular tale!  I have loved vampire AU for a long time and this series is pure delight and hits every damn button for me! You want a cool interpretation of vampires? BAM! You want family dynamics to the extreme? BAM AGAIN!  You want exploration of creature angst? BAM BAM BAAAAM!!! I’ve already read through these three or five times and I can promise I will do so again!

The Chemist by TheGracefulBlueCat Sherlock returns to Baker Street and faces detox. But he feels too exhausted and bad to go through it fully conscious, so he - once more - uses his mind palace to distract him with an old case. But due to his drug issues and the tension between him and John things don't work as smoothly as everyone hoped they would, confronting Sherlock and all his friends with more of their demons than they would have liked to.

This writer is absolutely on-point with the writing of these characters - especially Sherlock.  It was primarily through this writing that I felt I got such a good view of why the interpretation of Sherlock as autistic makes sense - but that it is the only truly logical conclusion. Not to mention the fanart @ceruleanmindpalace (same person) creates will leave you breathless!!   

Who You Really Are (Series) by EnglandsGray So very like her, to take something he would otherwise find inconsequential – boring – and transform it into something he couldn’t live without...For Sherlock, after Sherrinford, none of the worlds he inhabits will ever be the same again. He can see a way to rebuild, but he is terrified.  For Molly Hooper, strength is something she feels she is losing by the day, but the time has come for her to stand her ground.

Ohhhh my gosh like deep dive right into the pit of angst! And yet so soft and precious.  This first story of the series is one that I’m still going through and it is unbelievably rich and welling with delicious plot stuff and relationship and hurt/comfort and just - you gotta read iiit!!!

He Is Different, This One by ASilvergirl How would the Serbian "interrogation" go if his captors knew that Sherlock was neuroatypical and had synaesthesia? This is an alternate version of the scene from "The Empty Hearse."

I mean, how could I not love this fic? For the record I’m still not even a little bit tired of fics that explore what may have happened in Serbia.  It is just one of the most unresolved moments in  the series - going from that damn beating to him walking in on John like I NEED MOOORE!!! And this fic gives me SO much more than I could have expected!  Plus I’m always doubly onboard with a story that depicts Sherlock as neuroatypical.

There are sooooo many more fics I could link!! As it is I’ve been at this for about 3 hours and I’m dropping to the floor.  But to see the rest of the stories I’ve loved please check out my bookmarks!
