4 4 What is a Circular Linked List? l A circular linked list is a list in which every node has a successor; the “last” element is succeeded by the “first” element.

5 5 External Pointer to the Last Node

6 6 What is a Doubly Linked List? l A doubly linked list is a list in which each node is linked to both its successor and its predecessor.

7 7 Linking the New Node into the List

8 8 Deleting from a Doubly Linked List

9 9 What are Header and Trailer Nodes? l A Header Node is a node at the beginning of a list that contains a key value smaller than any possible key. l A Trailer Node is a node at the end of a list that contains a key larger than any possible key. l Both header and trailer are placeholding nodes used to simplify list processing.

10 10 Recall Definition of Stack l Logical (or ADT) level: A stack is an ordered group of homogeneous items (elements), in which the removal and addition of stack items can take place only at the top of the stack. l A stack is a LIFO “last in, first out” structure.

11 Stack ADT Operations l IsEmpty -- Determines whether the stack is currently empty. l IsFull -- Determines whether the stack is currently full. l Push (ItemType newItem) -- Adds newItem to the top of the stack. l Pop -- Removes the item at the top of the stack and returns it in item. l Top -- Returns a copy of the top item 11

12 12 class StackType StackType Top Pop Push IsFull IsEmpty Private data: topPtr ~StackType 20 30

13 13 What happens... l When a function is called that uses pass by value for a class object like our dynamically linked stack?

14 14 Pass by value makes a shallow copy 20 30 StackType MyStack; // CLIENT CODE. MyFunction( MyStack ); // function call Private data: 7000 6000 topPtr 7000 Private data: topPtr 7000 MyStack SomeStack shallow copy

15 15 Shallow Copy vs. Deep Copy l A shallow copy copies only the class data members, and does not copy any pointed-to data. l A deep copy copies not only the class data members, but also makes separately stored copies of any pointed-to data.

16 16 What’s the difference? lA shallow copy shares the pointed to data with the original class object. lA deep copy stores its own copy of the pointed to data at different locations than the data in the original class object.

17 17 Making a deep copy 20 30 Private data: 7000 6000 topPtr 7000 SomeStack 20 30 Private data: 5000 2000 topPtr 5000 MyStack deep copy

18 18 // FUNCTION CODE template void MyFunction( StackType SomeStack ) // Uses pass by value { ItemType item; SomeStack.Pop(item);. } WHAT HAPPENS IN THE SHALLOW COPY SCENARIO? 18 Suppose MyFunction Uses Pop

19 19 MyStack.topPtr is left dangling ? 30 StackType MyStack; // CLIENT CODE. MyFunction( MyStack ); Private data: topPtr 6000 MyStack SomeStack shallow copy Private data: 7000 6000 topPtr 7000

20 20 MyStack.topPtr is left dangling ? 30 Private data: topPtr 6000 MyStack SomeStack shallow copy Private data: 7000 6000 topPtr 7000 NOTICE THAT NOT JUST FOR THE SHALLOW COPY, BUT ALSO FOR ACTUAL PARAMETER MyStack, THE DYNAMIC DATA HAS CHANGED!

21 21 As a result... l This default method used for pass by value is not the best way when a data member pointer points to dynamic data. l Instead, you should write what is called a copy constructor, which makes a deep copy of the dynamic data in a different memory location.

22 22 More about copy constructors l When there is a copy constructor provided for a class, the copy constructor is used to make copies for pass by value. l You do not call the copy constructor. l Like other constructors, it has no return type. l Because the copy constructor properly defines pass by value for your class, it must use pass by reference in its definition.

23 23 Copy Constructor l Copy constructor is a special member function of a class that is implicitly called in these three situations: n passing object parameters by value, n initializing an object variable in a declaration, n returning an object as the return value of a function.

24 24 // DYNAMICALLY LINKED IMPLEMENTATION OF STACK template class StackType { public: StackType( ); // Default constructor. // POST: Stack is created and empty. StackType( const StackType & anotherStack ); // Copy constructor. // Implicitly called for pass by value.. ~StackType( ); // Destructor. // POST: Memory for nodes has been deallocated. private: NodeType * topPtr ; }; 24

25 25 CLASS CONSTRUCTOR CLASS COPY CONSTRUCTOR CLASS DESTRUCTOR Classes with Data Member Pointers Need

26 26 template // COPY CONSTRUCTOR StackType :: StackType( const StackType & anotherStack ) {NodeType * ptr1 ; NodeType * ptr2 ; if ( anotherStack.topPtr == NULL ) topPtr = NULL ; else // allocate memory for first node {topPtr = new NodeType ; topPtr->info = anotherStack.topPtr->info ; ptr1 = anotherStack.topPtr->next ; ptr2 = topPtr ; while ( ptr1 != NULL )// deep copy other nodes {ptr2->next = new NodeType ; ptr2 = ptr2->next ; ptr2->info = ptr1->info ; ptr1 = ptr1->next ; } ptr2->next = NULL ; } 26

27 27 What About the Assignment Operator? l The default method used for assignment of class objects makes a shallow copy. l If your class has a data member pointer to dynamic data, you should write a member function to overload the assignment operator to make a deep copy of the dynamic data.

28 28 // DYNAMICALLY LINKED IMPLEMENTATION OF STACK template class StackType { public: StackType( ); // Default constructor. StackType( const StackType & anotherStack ); // Copy constructor. void operator= ( StackType ); // Overloads assignment operator.. ~StackType( ); // Destructor. private: NodeType * topPtr ; }; 28

29 29 C++ Operator Overloading Guides 1All operators except these ::. sizeof ?: may be overloaded. 2At least one operand must be a class instance. 3You cannot change precedence, operator symbols, or number of operands. 4Overloading ++ and -- requires prefix form use by default, unless special mechanism is used. 5To overload these operators = ( ) [ ] member functions (not friend functions) must be used. 6An operator can be given multiple meanings if the data types of operands differ.

30 Using Overloaded Binary operator+ When a Member Function was defined myStack + yourStack myStack.operator+(yourStack) When a Friend Function was defined myStack + yourStack operator+(myStack, yourStack) 30

31 31 Overloading Operators l C++ allows us to *redefine* the meaning of the relational operators in terms of the data members of a class l This redefinition is called overloading an operator l A simple example was covered in chapter 3

32 32 Overloading l class StrType l { l public l : l bool operator == (StrType otherstring) const; l : l }

33 33 Overloaded == operator l bool StrType::operator == (strType otherstring) const l { l int result; l result = std::strcmp(letters, otherstring.letters); l if (result == 0) l return true; l else l return false; l }

34 34 Overloading an Operator l How to use an overloaded operator? l Overloaded operators can only be used with data items that belong to user defined classes l StrType a; l StrType b; l if (a == b) cout<<“Yes indeed”<<endl; l else cout<<“Sorry! They are not equal”<<endl;

35 35 Another Example l //Overloading syntax example modified from original program at http://www.codeguru.com/cpp/tic/tic0127.shtmlhttp://www.codeguru.com/cpp/tic/tic0127.shtml l #include l using namespace std; l class Integer { l int i; l public: l Integer(int ii) l { i = ii; } l const Integer l operator+(const Integer& rv) const { l cout << "operator+" << endl; l return Integer(i + rv.i); l }

36 36 l Integer& l operator+=(const Integer& rv){ l cout << "operator+=" << endl; l i += rv.i; l return *this; l } l void display() l { l cout<<i<<endl; l } l };

37 37 Client Code l void main() { l cout << "built-in types:" << endl; l int i = 1, j = 2, k = 3; l k += i + j; l cout<<"k is now "<<k<<endl; l cout << "user-defined types:" << endl; l Integer I(1), J(2), K(3); l K += I + J; l cout<<"K is now "<<endl; l K.display(); l } ///:~
