Implementation of Integer Linked List in C++ Programming

This assignment presents a C++ implementation of a linked list designed to handle integer values. The program takes an integer 'n' as input and constructs a linked list by inserting integers from 1 to 'n' in sorted order. The solution then includes code to print all elements of the constructed linked list, demonstrating the basic functionality of the data structure. Furthermore, the assignment implements the reversal of the linked list and prints the elements in reverse order. The code utilizes the 'malloc()' function for dynamic memory allocation, ensuring efficient use of memory. The program includes the use of struct data type to hold the integer value, along with a pointer to the next node within the linked list. The provided solution showcases the fundamental operations of linked lists, including insertion, traversal, and reversal, and demonstrates the concept of dynamic memory allocation in the context of a data structure. The assignment's primary aim is to provide a clear and concise implementation of a linked list for integers, providing a practical demonstration of the data structure's capabilities.

1INTEGER LINKED LIST IMPLEMENTATION IN C++
The Linked list is one of the popular linear data structures. When used inside a
program each of the elements declared in the applications is represented as separate object.
Objects or elements of a Linked list are not stored in continuous memory locations rather in a
scattered way. These objects are linked between them using pointers so that it is easy and
possible to traverse among all the elements. Any of the nodes in a Lined list contains at least
two data items which are data and a pointer that connect to the next node. With the reference
to first linked list object it is possible to access the complete linked list. The first node or the
element is usually represented as the head. On the other hand, the last object /node of the
linked list contains NULL in that link part as this does not point or refer to any other object of
the list.
For this program the struct data type that is capable of holding different types of
data. For this program, first element holds integer value in the node and the another field
contains reference to the next node. In order to ensure efficient use of the memory; the
malloc() function is used in the program so that the program automatically can allocate
memory space according to the user requirement.
