This article is about a collection of common Computer Science algorithms which may be used in C projects. TheĀ C Programming LanguageĀ has a much smaller Standard Library as compared to other more modern programming languages such as Java or Python. The library provides a basic set of mathematical functions, string manipulation, type conversions, and file and console-based I/O.
In order to find middle element of linked list in one pass, you need to maintain two pointers, one increment at each node while other increments after two nodes at a time. By having this arrangement, when first pointer reaches end, second pointer will point to middle element of linked list.
Stanford Engineering Everywhere (SEE) offers few computer science courses to students online and at no charge. Programming Abstractions course covers advanced programming topics such as recursion, algorithmic analysis, and data abstraction using the C++ programming language, which is similar to both C and Java.
This is the implementation of Kruskal’s Algorithm in C and C++ Programming Languages. This algorithm is directly based on the generic MST (Minimum Spanning Tree) algorithm. Kruskal’s algorithm is a greedy algorithm in graph theory that finds a minimum spanning tree for a connected weighted graph. It finds a subset of the edges that forms a tree that includes every vertex, where the total weight of all the edges in the tree is minimized.
Originally written in 1979 at Computer Laboratory, Cambridge (England), it was reprinted in 1997 in the book “Readings in Information Retrieval”. Initially it was written in BCPL language. Here is the list of implementations in other programming languages including C, Java and Pearl implementations done by author himself.
These algorithms are represented in terms of compact implementations in C so that readers can both understand their fundamental properties and implement them in real applications. The method of the analysis of algorithms is quite carefully designed. When appropriate, analytic results are described to explain why certain algorithms are preferred. In some cases, the practical algorithms’ relationship being discussed to purely theoretical results is also described.
A binary tree is made of nodes, where each node contains a “left” pointer, a “right” pointer, and a data
As discussed in our previous post, C and C++ programmers have access to two main types of data structures: built-in
The basic aim of mycplus.com website was to develop a website for students of C/C++ and data structures. There are lots of tutorials and source code covering different aspects of C/C++ programming language. Today I have decided to write few articles about data structures and their implementation in C/C++.
