Summary
This pull request adds a foundational implementation of a singly linked list in two styles:
LinkedListNode)typedef structand manual memory managementThese match the patterns and function examples shown in Cracking the Coding Interview, providing support for classic linked list problems.
Objective-C Implementation Highlights
LinkedListNodeclass:appendToTail:– adds a new node to the end of the listdeleteNode:– removes the first occurrence of a node with a specific valueprintList:– utility class method to print the contents of a listAll methods include documentation and mimic common patterns found in the book.
C (typedef struct) Implementation Highlights
LinkedListNode_C_StylecreateNode(int value)appendToTail(LinkedListNode_C_Style *head, int value)deleteNode(LinkedListNode_C_Style *head, int value)printList(LinkedListNode_C_Style *head)freeList(LinkedListNode_C_Style *head)This implementation helps reinforce pointer manipulation, memory handling (
malloc/free), and basic data structure fundamentals — perfect for interview preparation in low-level environments.Motivation
The purpose of this addition is to provide:
This aligns directly with Chapter 2 of Cracking the Coding Interview.
