incrementing values in a linked list?

[Axel]

how exactly do you increment a value in a linked list node?

for example, if i had 2.20 in one element and 3.30 in the next how do i add these together?

double number;

temp->total += number;

// when i attempt to print it:

printf("%.2f", start->total);

the first element's number is printed, not the total. I'm guessing because each node holds a "total" therefore a new one is being assigned to each one. I have a total value in my structure. How do i combine the total value?

you combine them by using a global total variable, or using a head node and setting it's "number" field to the total of all sub nodes.

Hi ,

You can use a simple for loop in which read the value of the each node in to a variable and add the next node value to the earlier read variable and continue upto to node u want to.

Example format

for(temp=start;temp->value == <check value>;temp=temp->next)
{
     x+=temp->value;
}
printf("Fianl value - %d",x);

Hope this is helpful to you...

Incase of any other queries... plz revert.
