Inserting a person in ordered linked list.
Age is the comparison factor for the list.
Insertion takes place when the Insert() function is called.
The function checks the age of the person to be inserted and the age of the person that is existing in the linked list. If the age is larger the function places that person on the right of that person.
Deleting a person in ordered linked list.
Previous node of the person to be deleted is obtained.
The next of the previous node is changed .
Memory is freed that was allocated to the node.


Implementation



#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 


class Node {
public:
    string name;
	string surName;
	int age;
	string gender;
    Node* next;
};
 
void Insert(Node** head, Node* newNode)
{
    Node* currentNode;
    
    if (*head == NULL|| (*head)->age >= newNode->age) {
        newNode->next = *head;
        *head = newNode;
    }
    else {
        
        currentNode = *head;
        while (currentNode->next != NULL && currentNode->next->age< newNode->age) {
            currentNode = currentNode->next;
        }
        newNode->next = currentNode->next;
        currentNode->next = newNode;
    }
}
 
Node* new_node(string name,string surName,	int age,	string gender)
{
    
    Node* newNode = new Node();
 
   
    newNode->name = name;
    newNode->surName = surName;
    newNode->age = age;
    newNode->gender = gender;
    newNode->next = NULL;
 
    return newNode;
}
 


void printList(Node* head)
{
    Node* temp = head;
    while (temp != NULL) {
        cout << temp->name << " "<<temp->surName<<"  "<<temp->age<<"  "<<temp->gender<<endl;
        temp = temp->next;
    }
}
 
 
void deleteNode(Node** head_ref, int key)
{
     
    
    Node* temp = *head_ref;
    Node* prev = NULL;
     
    
    if (temp != NULL && temp->age == key)
    {
        *head_ref = temp->next; 
        delete temp;            
        return;
    }
 
    
      else
    {
    while (temp != NULL && temp->age != key)
    {
        prev = temp;
        temp = temp->next;
    }
 
    
    if (temp == NULL)
        return;
 
   
    prev->next = temp->next;
 
    
    delete temp;
    }
}


int main()
{
    
    Node* head = NULL;
    Node* node = new_node("Donald", "Brown", 67, "M" );
    Insert(&head, node);
    node = new_node("Jason", "Travis", 90, "F");
    Insert(&head, node);
    node = new_node("Max", "Black", 27, "M");
    Insert(&head, node);
    node = new_node("Bobi", "Frank", 17, "F");
    Insert(&head, node);
   
    cout << "The list is sorted by gender in ascending order\n";
    printList(head);
    cout<<"After deleting a person who age is 17 the list becomes \n";
    deleteNode(&head, 17);
     printList(head);
     
     cout << "When a person whose is 20 is inserted the linked list becomes\n";
     node = new_node("Victoria", "Riberry", 20, "M");
    Insert(&head, node);
    printList(head);
    return 0;
}
