Answer / rashid akhtar

We cant sort a singly list list in O(n) that is sure.
We can sort an array in O(k+n) if k is order of n,otherwise
counting sort is also not of O(n).
So moral of story,nobody can sort a singly list in O(n)...

Counting sort is a solution. Kormen 's book will help you.

Answer / hakr

Using Radix sort its the best solution it takes O(n).

typedef struct node *ptr;
struct node{
int element;
ptr next;
};
typedef ptr LIST;
typedef ptr POSITION;
int main()
{
.
.
.
.

for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
p=A[i]->next;
while(A[i]->next!=NULL)
{
A[i]->next=p->next;
p->next=NULL;
digit=(p->element/pow(10,j))%10;
InsertLast(B[digit],p);//InsertLast is a function that
takes an int and position and then does as the name tells//
p=A[i]->next;
}
.
.
.
.
}

Answer / abc

singly linked lists can be sorted in minimum of O(n2) [n
square] time.

struct NODE

int nodevalue;
struct NODE *next;
}
struct NODE *uslist, *slist;
struct NODE *cur_us, *cur_s; /*pointers to surf the lists*/
main()
{
..
/*uslist and slist have been initialised here*/
/*uslist holds the list to be sorted*/
/*slist is initially empty as nothing is sorted*/
..
..
LLsort();
}

LLsort ( )
{
int delval;
struct NODE *temp;

slist->nodevalue = 0; /*sorted list will have 0 as its first
element initially*/

2 Answers   HCL,

Question: We would like to design and implement a programming solution to the reader-writer problem using semaphores in C language under UNIX. We assume that we have three readers and two writers processes that would run concurrently. A writer is to update (write) into one memory location (let’s say a variable of type integer named temp initialized to 0). In the other hand, a reader is to read the content of temp and display its content on the screen in a formatted output. One writer can access the shared data exclusively without the presence of other writer or any reader, whereas, a reader may access the shared memory for reading with the presence of other readers (but not writers).
