Delete all Prime Nodes from a Circular Singly Linked List

Given a circular singly linked list containing N nodes. The task is to delete all nodes from the list which are prime.
Examples:
Input : 9->11->32->6->13->20
Output : 9 32 6 20Input : 6->11->16->21->17->10
Output : 6 16 21 10
Approach: The idea is to traverse the nodes of the circular singly linked list one by one and get the pointer of the nodes which are prime. Delete those nodes by following the approach used in the post: Delete a node from circular Linked List.
Below is the implementation of the above idea:
C++
// CPP program to delete all prime// node from a Circular singly linked list#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;// Structure for a nodestruct Node { int data; struct Node* next;};// Function to insert a node at the beginning// of a Circular linked listvoid push(struct Node** head_ref, int data){ struct Node* ptr1 = (struct Node*)malloc(sizeof(struct Node)); struct Node* temp = *head_ref; ptr1->data = data; ptr1->next = *head_ref; // If linked list is not NULL then // set the next of last node if (*head_ref != NULL) { while (temp->next != *head_ref) temp = temp->next; temp->next = ptr1; } else ptr1->next = ptr1; // For the first node *head_ref = ptr1;}// Delete the node if it is primevoid deleteNode(Node* head_ref, Node* del){ struct Node *temp = head_ref, *temp2 = head_ref; // traverse list till not found // delete node while (temp->next != del) { temp = temp->next; } // copy address of node temp->next = del->next; // Finally, free the memory // occupied by del free(del); return;}// Function to check if a number is primebool isPrime(int n){ // Corner cases if (n <= 1) return false; if (n <= 3) return true; // This is checked so that we can skip // middle five numbers in below loop if (n % 2 == 0 || n % 3 == 0) return false; for (int i = 5; i * i <= n; i = i + 6) if (n % i == 0 || n % (i + 2) == 0) return false; return true;}// Function to delete all prime nodes// from the singly circular linked listNode* deletePrimeNodes(Node* head){ if (head == NULL) return NULL; struct Node* ptr = head; struct Node* temp; // setting up the head node to the first non prime node while (isPrime(ptr->data)) { ptr = ptr->next; if (ptr == head) { return NULL; } } temp = ptr; Node* temp2 = ptr; ptr = ptr->next; // setting up the last node next to the first non prime // node while (ptr != head) { temp2 = ptr; ptr = ptr->next; } temp2->next = temp; head = temp; ptr = head; // traverse list till the endl // if node is prime then delete it do { temp = ptr->next; // if node is prime if (isPrime(ptr->data)) deleteNode(head, ptr); ptr = temp; } while (ptr != head); return head;}// Function to print nodes in a// given singly linked listvoid printList(struct Node* head){ if (!head) { printf("NULL"); } struct Node* temp = head; if (head != NULL) { do { printf("%d ", temp->data); temp = temp->next; } while (temp != head); }}// Driver codeint main(){ // Initialize lists as empty struct Node* head = NULL; // Created linked list will be // 9->11->32->6->13->20 push(&head, 20); push(&head, 13); push(&head, 6); push(&head, 32); push(&head, 11); push(&head, 9); cout << "Given List : "; printList(head); cout << "\nList After deleting prime nodes : "; head = deletePrimeNodes(head); printList(head); return 0;} |
