Linked List Teaching System

YOKOYAMA - MIYADERA Lab

This Linked List Teaching System presents two algorithms. The first, called Linked List Insert 1, builds a list of names and telephone numbers (which you enter) and then prints the list. The second, called Linked List Insert 2, also builds a list, then asked you for a new names and numbers, and location to insert them in the list. The system uses animation and program visualization to show how the algorithms work.

Instructions:

Linked List Insert:
- Under the program name is a listing of the C code of the program.
- As the program runs, the currently executing line is highlighted.
Program Variables:
- Shows the program's variables and their values as the program runs.
- The main input and output variables and animations of their values are at the top of this area.
Input and Output:
- Please type any input to the program in this area.
- Also shows any output the program prints on the console.
Controls:
- Run:
  Press this button to start the program running.
- Stop:
  Press this button to pause the program at any time.
- Step:
  Each press of this button makes the program execute one step.
- Back:
  Each press of this button makes the program go back one step, to see what it did before.
- Reset:
  If you want to run the program again from the start with different input, press this button.
- Speed:
  Control the speed of the program when it is running.
- Algorithm:
  Choose which linked list algorithm to visualize.
- Status:
  Shows whether the program is running, stopped, waiting for input, or if you are looking at previous steps (with Back). Below the status is a short sentence explaining why the program is executing each step.
