Assignment Help:

Q. Write an algorithm that counts number of nodes in a linked list.                                     

Ans.

Algorithm to Count No. of Nodes in Linked List

COUNT (INFO, LINK, START, NUM)

1. Set NUM: = 0 [initializes counter]

2. Set PTR=START [ initializes pointer]

3. Repeat steps 4 & 5 while PTR! = NULL

4. Set NUM:= NUM + 1 [ increases NUM by 1]

5. Set PTR: =LINK [PTR] . [updates pointer to point to next node]

[End of step 3 loop]

6. Return
