Implementing Lists
We have designed the interface for the List; we
now must consider how to implement that
interface.
Implementing Lists using an array: for example,
the list of integers (2, 6, 8, 7, 1) could be
represented as:
current size
A 2 6 8 7 1
3 5
1 2 3 4 5
List Implementation
add(9); current position is 3. The new list would thus
be: (2, 6, 8, 9, 7, 1)
We will need to shift everything to the right of 8 one
place to the right to make place for the new element ‘9’.
current size
step 1: A 2 6 8 7 1
3 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
current size
step 2: A 2 6 8 9 7 1
4 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
notice: current points
to new element

next():
current size
A 2 6 8 9 7 1
4 6
1 2 3 4 5 6 5
Implementing Lists
There are special cases for positioning the
current pointer:
a. past the last array cell
b. before the first cell

Implementing Lists
There are special cases for positioning the
current pointer:
a. past the last array cell
b. before the first cell
We will have to worry about these when we
write the actual code.
Implementing Lists
remove(): removes the element at the current
index
Step 1: current size
A 2 6 8 9 1
5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6

current size
Step 2: A 2 6 8 9 1

remove(): removes the element at the current
index
Step 1: current size

5 6
1 2 3 4 5 6
5
current size
Step 2: A 2 6 8 9 1
5 5
1 2 3 4 5
We fill the blank spot left by the removal of 7 by
shifting the values to the right of position 5 over
to the left one space.
Implementing Lists
find(X): traverse the array until X is located.
int find(int X)
{
int j;
for(j=1; j < size+1; j++ )
if( A[j] == X ) break;
if( j < size+1 ) { // found X
current = j; // current points to where X found
return 1; // 1 for true
}
return 0; // 0 (false) indicates not found
}

Implementing Lists
Other operations:
get() return A[current];
update(X) A[current] = X;
length() return size;
back() current--;
start() current = 1;
end() current = size;
Analysis of Array Lists
add
we have to move every element to the right of
current to make space for the new element.
Worst-case is when we insert at the beginning; we
have to move every element right one place.
Average-case: on average we may have to move
half of the elements

Analysis of Array Lists
remove
Worst-case: remove at the beginning, must shift all
remaining elements to the left.
Average-case: expect to move half of the elements.
find
Worst-case: may have to search the entire array
Average-case: search at most half the array.
Other operations are one-step.
List Using Linked Memory

consecutively in memory.

Now the first element must explicitly tell us
where to look for the second element.

Do this by holding the memory address of the

Linked List
Create a structure called a Node.
object next
The object field will hold the actual list element.
The next field in the structure will hold the
starting location of the next node.
Chain the nodes together to form a linked list.
Linked List
Picture of our list (2, 6, 7, 8, 1) stored as a
linked list:

Note some features of the list:
Need a head to point to the first node of the list.
Otherwise we won’t know where the start of the
list is.

Otherwise we won’t know where the start of the
list is.
The current here is a pointer, not an index.
The next field in the last node points to nothing.
We will place the memory address NULL which
is guaranteed to be inaccessible.
