Convert an Array to a Circular Doubly Linked List

Last Updated : 23 Jun, 2022

Prerequisite: Doubly Linked list, Circular Linked List, Circular Doubly Linked List
Given an array of N elements. The task is to write a program to convert the array into a circular doubly linked list.

Image Representation

The idea is to start traversing the array and for every array element create a new list node and assign the prev and next pointers of this node accordingly.

Create a pointer start to point to the starting of the list which will initially point to NULL(Empty list).
For the first element of the array, create a new node and put that node's prev and next pointers to point to start maintaining the circular fashion of the list.
For the rest of the array elements, insert those elements to the end of the created circular doubly linked list.

Below is the implementation of the above idea:

C++

// CPP program to convert array to 
// circular doubly linked list

#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Doubly linked list node
struct node
{
    int data;
    struct node *next;
    struct node *prev;
};

// Utility function to create a node in memory
struct node* getNode()
{
    return ((struct node *)malloc(sizeof(struct node)));
}

// Function to display the list
int displayList(struct node *temp)
{
    struct node *t = temp;
    if(temp == NULL)
        return 0;
    else
    {   
        cout<<"The list is: ";
        
        while(temp->next != t)
        {
            cout<<temp->data<<" ";
            temp = temp->next;
        }
        
        cout<<temp->data;
        
        return 1;
    } 
}

// Function to convert array into list
void createList(int arr[], int n, struct node **start)
{
    // Declare newNode and temporary pointer
    struct node *newNode,*temp;
    int i;
    
    // Iterate the loop until array length
    for(i=0;i<n;i++)
    {
        // Create new node
        newNode = getNode();
        
        // Assign the array data
        newNode->data = arr[i];
        
        // If it is first element
        // Put that node prev and next as start
        // as it is circular
        if(i==0)
        {
            *start = newNode;
            newNode->prev = *start;
            newNode->next = *start;
        }
        else
        {   
            // Find the last node
            temp = (*start)->prev;
            
            // Add the last node to make them
            // in circular fashion
            temp->next = newNode;
            newNode->next = *start;
            newNode->prev = temp;
            temp = *start;
            temp->prev = newNode;
        }
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Array to be converted
    int arr[] = {1,2,3,4,5};
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    
    // Start Pointer
    struct node *start = NULL;
    
    // Create the List
    createList(arr, n, &start);
    
    // Display the list
    displayList(start);
    
    return 0;
}

Output:

The list is: 1 2 3 4 5

Time Complexity: O(n), as we are using a loop to traverse n times. Where n is the number of nodes in the linked list.

Auxiliary Space: O(1), as we are not using any extra space.
