Python Linked List: Search a specific item in a singly linked list and return true if the item is found otherwise return false
Python Linked List: Exercise-3 with Solution
Write a Python program to search a specific item in a singly linked list and return true if the item is found otherwise return false.
Sample Solution:-
Python Code:
class Node:
# Singly linked node
def __init__(self, data=None):
self.data = data
self.next = None
class singly_linked_list:
def __init__(self):
# Createe an empty list
self.tail = None
self.head = None
self.count = 0
def append_item(self, data):
#Append items on the list
node = Node(data)
if self.head:
self.head.next = node
self.head = node
else:
self.tail = node
self.head = node
self.count += 1
def iterate_item(self):
# Iterate the list.
current_item = self.tail
while current_item:
val = current_item.data
current_item = current_item.next
yield val
def search_item(self, val):
# Search the list
for node in self.iterate_item():
if val == node:
return True
return False
items = singly_linked_list()
items.append_item('PHP')
items.append_item('Python')
items.append_item('C#')
items.append_item('C++')
items.append_item('Java')
if items.search_item('SQL'):
print("True")
else:
print("False")
if items.search_item('C++'):
print("True")
else:
print("False")
Sample Output:
False True

Python: Tips of the Day
Find current directory and file's directory:
To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:
import os dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))
(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)
To get the current working directory use
import os cwd = os.getcwd()
Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:
- The os and os.path modules.
- The __file__ constant
- os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
- os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
- os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
- os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
