delete node in Linked List
This function is deleting a node from linked list. It is OK with nodes which are not the first node. When I send anchor to function, I lose the link to the rest of the list. Why is it so?
Code:
void delete(visit_ptr_node_type this_is_the_node)
{
visit_ptr_node_type one_back;
if(anchor == NULL)
printf("\n The list is empty");
else
{
if(this_is_the_node==anchor)
anchor=anchor->next_ptr;
else
{
one_back=anchor;
while(one_back->next_ptr != this_is_the_node)
one_back=one_back->next_ptr;
one_back->next_ptr = (this_is_the_node) ->next_ptr;
}
free(this_is_the_node);
}
}
TIA,
Ronen
