COSC 1P03 Data Structures and Abstraction 10.1 The List If A is success in life, then A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut. Albert Einstein, Observer, Jan. 15, 1950

COSC 1P03 Data Structures and Abstraction 10.2 List most general of list-oriented collections an ordered collection (initially empty) of items (of some type) to which items may be added and removed. cursored-list cursor operations relative to cursor off list errors off list list overflow

COSC 1P03 Data Structures and Abstraction representation sequentially linked structure with header and two cursors empty list off list? length keep count comparison with contiguous insert/remove O(1) vs O(n)

Cursor must be moved to the front of the list, First item. Try to match the "key' with an item in the list which has the same key. If find did not locate an item with "key" then the cursor will be off the list. Thus we break out of the search routine. Must of found something, so process the item. Before we search for another item with the same key, the cursor must be advanced 1 unit. The search will now start from the current cursor position. Exhaustive Search

Cursor now indexes an empty cell in the array, so assign the item to that cell. We have added an item to the list, so length must be increased by 1. If the cursor is off of the list, it is not referencing any item. Hence raise exception. Extract the item from the array Move all items above the cursor down 1 cell. Reduce the count of items now in the list. Items have been moved down 1 cell, the last item now invalid and can be removed to allow garbage collection. Return the removed item
