Deletion of node at Specific location in SLL

Location base deletion is similar to the Insertion of node at specific location.we will be follow the below procedure :

  • First we have to declare an Temp Variable and also one flag.
  • flag will go towards the position value.
  • when we will reached at required position node,then we have to arrange the node. and delete the node of specific position.

Working Process

Code Implementation

#include <stdio.h>
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
#include<math.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
struct CreateNode   // Node Structure Initialization
{
	int  data;          // for data element
	struct CreateNode* nextNode;   //for storing the address of next element
};
struct CreateNode *HeadPointer = NULL;    // Initialization of HeadPointer

void DeleteNodeAtLocation(int Position)   // Method of Random Addition
{
	int flag = 1;
	struct CreateNode* Temp = NULL; //Temp Node
	Temp = HeadPointer;
	while (flag < Position-1)
	{
		Temp = Temp->nextNode;
		flag++;
	}
	Temp->nextNode = Temp->nextNode->nextNode;
	std::cout <<"\nNode-"<< Position <<"has been Deleted " ;

}
int main()
{
	int Position;
	//Create 4 node statically and Initialize manually
	struct CreateNode* Node1 = (struct CreateNode *)malloc(sizeof(struct CreateNode *));
	struct CreateNode* Node2 = (struct CreateNode *)malloc(sizeof(struct CreateNode *));
	struct CreateNode* Node3 = (struct CreateNode *)malloc(sizeof(struct CreateNode *));
	struct CreateNode* Node4 = (struct CreateNode *)malloc(sizeof(struct CreateNode *));
	Node1->data = 90;
	Node2->data = 100;
	Node3->data = 200;
	Node4->data = 300;

	Node1->nextNode = Node2;
	Node2->nextNode = Node3;
	Node3->nextNode = Node4;
	Node4->nextNode = NULL;

	HeadPointer = Node1;  // HeadPointer pointing to the Node1
	printf("Node Before Deletion : ");
	while (HeadPointer->nextNode != NULL)
	{
		std::cout << HeadPointer->data << " ";
		HeadPointer = HeadPointer->nextNode;
	}
	std::cout << HeadPointer->data << " ";
	HeadPointer = Node1;
	printf("\nEnter Position of Node for Deletion :");
	std::cin>> Position;
	DeleteNodeAtLocation(Position);
	printf("\nNode data after Deletion process :\n");
	while (HeadPointer != NULL)
	{
		printf("%d ", HeadPointer->data);
		HeadPointer = HeadPointer->nextNode;
	}
	_getch();
	return 0;
}

Time & Space Complexity

  • Worst Case : Time Complexity will be O(n).
  • Best Case : Time Complexity will be O(1).
  • Average Case : Time Complexity will be O(n).
  • Worst Case Space Complexity will be O(1).
