Search Function in Linked List - C++ [closed]

问题


My aim is to produce a function that searches for a number already in the list and print that it has been found.
My initial idea was to follow my remove function which searches through the list until it finds a number (to then delete).
This seemed the logical way to code the search function. If this isn't correct how would I modify it to search through my list and display that a number has been found?
I have nodes *head, *current and *temp as well as node pointer next and number as the data type in a class on a .h file.
Thank you.
NOTE - I used my remove() function under the search() function.

#include <iostream>                                                 
#include <string>                                                   
#include <fstream>                                                  
#include "LinkedList.h"

using namespace SDI;

int main()
{
    LinkedList menu;

    menu.insert(5);                     
    menu.insert(4);
    menu.insert(2);
    menu.insert(3);
    menu.insert(8);
    menu.remove(4);
    menu.reverse();
    menu.display();
    menu.search(2);
    system("pause");

};

回答1:


Your search algorithm seems to be wrong. Change it to :

if (current != NULL) // (current == NULL) is wrong because it means the value wasn't found
{
    searchnumber = current;
    current = current->next;
    std::cout << "-" << searchnumber->number << " Found"; // here searchnumber is the node's address. You need to print its value, so use searchnumber->number
}

And you don't need to remove nodes till you find the desired value.
You can just use your search algorithm to find if a number already in the list. If that's what you want.




回答2:


While a list is unordered a comparison of search algorithms doesn't have any sense. Simply iterate over all nodes one by one and apply match criteria.
