Insert Position

Medium Circular Linked List

Solve in Playground →

Problem Statement

Write a C program to insert a new node at a specified 0-based position in a circular linked list.

Input Format

First line contains n. Second line contains n elements. Third line contains position index. Fourth line contains the new value.

Output Format

Print the updated circular linked list separated by spaces.

Constraints

0 <= position <= n <= 100

Sample Input

Sample Output

1 2 3 4 5

Explanation

Traverse to the node before the target position, adjust pointers to insert the new node, and maintain circular list continuity.

Starter Code

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node *next;
};

int main() {
    int n;
    if (scanf("%d", &n) == 1) {
        struct Node *head = NULL, *tail = NULL;
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            int val;
            scanf("%d", &val);
            struct Node *newNode = (struct Node *)malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
            newNode->data = val;
            newNode->next = NULL;
            if (head == NULL) {
                head = newNode;
                tail = newNode;
                tail->next = head;
            } else {
                tail->next = newNode;
                tail = newNode;
                tail->next = head;
            }
        }
        int pos, insertVal;
        scanf("%d %d", &pos, &insertVal);
        // Write your code here to insert at position
    }
    return 0;
}
