Create a linked list, and then check created list is palindrome or not.

Program:

The source code to check a linked list is palindrome or not is given below. The given program is compiled and executed using GCC compile on UBUNTU 18.04 OS successfully.

// C program to check a linked list
// is palindrome or not

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

//Self referential structure to create node.
typedef struct tmp {
    int item;
    struct tmp* next;
} Node;

//structure for create linked list.
typedef struct
    {
    Node* head;
    Node* tail;

} List;

//Initialize List
void initList(List* lp)
{
    lp->head = NULL;
    lp->tail = NULL;
}

//Create node and return reference of it.
Node* createNode(int item)
{
    Node* nNode;

    nNode = (Node*)malloc(sizeof(Node));

    nNode->item = item;
    nNode->next = NULL;

    return nNode;
}

//Add new item at the end of list.
void addAtTail(List* lp, int item)
{
    Node* node;
    node = createNode(item);

    //if list is empty.
    if (lp->head == NULL) {
        lp->head = node;
        lp->tail = node;
    }
    else {
        lp->tail->next = node;
        lp->tail = lp->tail->next;
    }
}

//Add new item at begning of the list.
void addAtHead(List* lp, int item)
{
    Node* node;
    node = createNode(item);

    //if list is empty.
    if (lp->head == NULL) {
        lp->head = node;
        lp->tail = node;
    }
    else {
        node->next = lp->head;
        lp->head = node;
    }
}

//To print list from start to end of the list.
void printList(List* lp)
{
    Node* node;

    if (lp->head == NULL) {
        printf("\nEmpty List");
        return;
    }

    node = lp->head;

    while (node != NULL) {
        printf("| %05d |", node->item);
        node = node->next;

        if (node != NULL)
            printf("--->");
    }
    printf("\n\n");
}

int isPalindrome(List* lp)
{
    Node* temp;
    int arr[100];

    int flag = 1;
    int count = 0;

    temp = lp->head;

    while (temp != NULL) {
        arr[count++] = temp->item;
        temp = temp->next;
    }

    temp = lp->head;
    count = count - 1;
    while (temp != NULL) {
        if (arr[count--] != temp->item) {
            flag = 0;
            break;
        }
        temp = temp->next;
    }

    return flag;
}

//Main function to execute program.
int main()
{
    List* lp;

    lp = (List*)malloc(sizeof(List));

    initList(lp);

    addAtHead(lp, 100);
    addAtHead(lp, 200);
    addAtHead(lp, 300);
    addAtHead(lp, 200);
    addAtHead(lp, 100);

    printf("List:\n");
    printList(lp);

    if (isPalindrome(lp))
        printf("List is palindrome\n");
    else
        printf("List is not palindrome\n");

    return 0;
}

Output:

List:
| 00100 |--->| 00200 |--->| 00300 |--->| 00200 |--->| 00100 |

List is palindrome

Explanation:

Here, we created a self-referential structure to implement a linked list, a function to add a node at the start and end of the list, a function isPalindrome() to check linked list is palindrome or not. The isPalindrome() function returns 1 if the list is palindrome otherwise it will return 0.

In the main() function, we created a linked list. Then we checked the given list is palindrome or not using the isPalindrome() function and printed the appropriate message.
