Deletion at different positions in a Circular Linked List

Last Updated : 13 Apr, 2023

tGiven a Circular Linked List. The task is to write programs to delete nodes from this list present at:

First position.
Last Position.
At any given position $i$ .

Deleting first node from Singly Circular Linked List

Examples:

Input : 99->11->22->33->44->55->66
Output : 11->22->33->44->55->66

Input : 11->22->33->44->55->66
Output : 22->33->44->55->66

Deleting First Node from Circular Linked List

Approach:

Take two pointers current and previous and traverse the list.
Keep the pointer current fixed pointing to the first node and move previous until it reaches the last node.
Once, the pointer previous reaches the last node, do the following:
- previous->next = current-> next
- head = previous -> next;

Implementation: Function to delete first node from singly circular linked list.

C++

// Function to delete First node of
// Circular Linked List
void DeleteFirst(struct Node** head)
{
    struct Node *previous = *head, *firstNode = *head;
 
    // check if list doesn't have any node
    // if not then return
    if (*head == NULL) {
        printf("\nList is empty\n");
        return;
    }
 
    // check if list have single node
    // if yes then delete it and return
    if (previous->next == previous) {
        *head = NULL;
        return;
    }
 
    // traverse second node to first
    while (previous->next != *head) {
 
        previous = previous->next;
    }
 
    // now previous is last node and
    // first node(firstNode) link address
    // put in last node(previous) link
    previous->next = firstNode->next;
 
    // make second node as head node
    *head = previous->next;
    free(firstNode);
    return;
}

Java

// Function to delete First node of
// Circular Linked List
static void DeleteFirst(Node head)
{
    Node previous = head, firstNode = head;
 
    // Check if list doesn't have any node
    // if not then return
    if (head == null) 
    {
        System.out.printf("\nList is empty\n");
        return;
    }
 
    // Check if list have single node
    // if yes then delete it and return
    if (previous.next == previous)
    {
        head = null;
        return;
    }
 
    // Traverse second node to first
    while (previous.next != head) 
    {
        previous = previous.next;
    }
 
    // Now previous is last node and
    // first node(firstNode) link address
    // put in last node(previous) link
    previous.next = firstNode.next;
 
    // Make second node as head node
    head = previous.next;
    System.gc();
    return;
}

Deleting the last node of the Circular Linked List

Examples:

Input : 99->11->22->33->44->55->66
Output : 99->11->22->33->44->55

Input : 99->11->22->33->44->55
Output : 99->11->22->33->44

Delete last node from Circular Linked List

Approach:

Take two pointers current and previous and traverse the list.
Move both pointers such that next of previous is always pointing to current. Keep moving the pointers current and previous until current reaches the last node and previous is at the second last node.
Once, the pointer current reaches the last node, do the following:
- previous->next = current-> next
- head = previous -> next;

Function to delete last node from the list:

C++

// Function delete last node of
// Circular Linked List
void DeleteLast(struct Node** head)
{
    struct Node *current = *head, *temp = *head, *previous;
 
    // check if list doesn't have any node
    // if not then return
    if (*head == NULL) {
        printf("\nList is empty\n");
        return;
    }
 
    // check if list have single node
    // if yes then delete it and return
    if (current->next == current) {
        *head = NULL;
        return;
    }
 
    // move first node to last
    // previous
    while (current->next != *head) {
        previous = current;
        current = current->next;
    }
 
    previous->next = current->next;
    *head = previous->next;
    free(current);
    return;
}

Java

// Function to delete last node of
// Circular Linked List
static Node DeleteLast(Node head)
{
    Node current = head, temp = head, previous = null;
  
    // Check if list doesn't have any node

Time Complexity: O(N) where N is the number of nodes in given Linked List.

Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Deleting nodes at given index in the Circular linked list

Examples:

Input : 99->11->22->33->44->55->66
        Index= 4
Output : 99->11->22->33->55->66

Input : 99->11->22->33->44->55->66
        Index= 2
Output : 99->11->33->44->55->66

Note: 0-based indexing is considered for the list.

Approach:

First, find the length of the list. That is, the number of nodes in the list.
Take two pointers previous and current to traverse the list. Such that previous is one position behind the current node.
Take a variable count initialized to 0 to keep track of the number of nodes traversed.
Traverse the list until the given index is reached.
Once the given index is reached, do previous->next = current->next.

Function to delete a node at given index or location from singly circular linked list:

C++

// Function to delete node at given index
// of Circular Linked List
void DeleteAtPosition(Node* head, int index)
{
   
    // find length of list
    int len = Length(head);
    int count = 1;
    Node* previous = head;
    Node* next = head;
     
    // check if list doesn't have any node
    // if not then return
    if(head == NULL){
        cout<<"Delete Last list is empty";
        return;
    }
     
    // given index is in list or not
    if(index >= len || index<0){
        cout<<"Index is not Found";
        return;
    }
     
    // delete first node
    if(index == 0){
        DeleteFirst(head);
        return;
    }
     
    // traverse first to last node
    while(len > 0){
        // if index found delete that node
        if(index == count){
            previous->next = next->next;
            free(next);
            return;
        }
        previous = previous->next;
        next = previous->next;
        len--;
        count++;
    }
    return;
}

Output

Initial List: 99 11 22 33 44 55 66 
After Deleting node at index 4: 99 11 22 33 55 66 

Initial List: 99 11 22 33 55 66 
After Deleting first node: 11 22 33 55 66 

Initial List: 11 22 33 55 66 
After Deleting last node: 11 22 33 55

Time Complexity: O(N) where N is the number of nodes in given linked list.
