How to Recursively Split a Linked List into Odd and Even Nodes in C+ +

Linked lists are fundamental data structures in computer science that can hold a collection of elements, with each element pointing to the next one. One interesting problem you might encounter is the need to split a linked list of integers into two separate lists: one for odd numbers and another for even numbers. In this guide, we'll guide you through the process of splitting a linked list recursively in C+ + , while adhering to specific requirements such as manipulating existing nodes rather than creating new ones.

Understanding the Problem

In your typical C+ + linked list, each node contains a value and a pointer to the next node. Our task is to create two pointers to split them: one for odd nodes and one for even nodes. The original linked list should eventually terminate and be replaced with nullptr, indicating that all nodes have been reassigned.

To summarize, the requirements are:

Use recursion to split the list.

Do not create new nodes; manipulate the existing ones.

Ensure that both the odd and even lists terminate correctly.

Solution Overview

Here's the approach we'll take to solve this problem:

Base Case: If the current node is nullptr, return nullptr and set both the odd and even pointers to nullptr.

Recursion: Check if the current node's value is even or odd and assign it to the respective list while continuing down the linked list recursively.

Termination: Ensure that we properly terminate the list after assignment to prevent dangling pointers.

Step-by-Step Implementation

Let’s implement the solution in C+ + .

Explanation of the Code

Structure Definition: We define a simple node structure with an integer data and a pointer next to the following node.

The Function: The odd_even function takes three parameters: the current node, and references to the odd and the even pointers.

Base Case: When we reach the end of the list (p being nullptr), both odd and even lists are set to nullptr.

Recursion Logic:

If the current node's data is odd, we update the odd list and recurse into the next node.

If the data is even, we do the same for the even list.

Termination Point: When recursively reaching the end of the list, we ensure that all nodes that belong to odd or even lists terminate correctly.

Conclusion

By recursively navigating through the linked list, we've effectively split the nodes into two separate lists for odd and even integers while adhering to the constraints of manipulating existing nodes. This approach empowers you to deepen your understanding of linked lists and recursion in C+ + .

As a bonus, here’s an iterative version of the same operation, which is much simpler and more efficient for practical purposes:
