The circular linked list is a version of a linked list where the last node does not point to the NULL, but instead, it points back to the first node making a circular loop-like structure. In this article, we will explore how to create a circular linked list in C. What is a Circular Linked List?A circular linked list is a data structure in which the last node points to the first node, thus forming a circular loop. It is a variation of the traditional singly linked list, where each node points to the next node in the sequence. ![]() Circular Linked List The advantage of this kind of linked list is that you can assume any node as the head and traverse the whole linked list from that node. How to Create a Circular Linked List in C?In C, each node of the linked list can be represented as a structure with a data field and a pointer to the next node in the sequence. The whole linked list is represented by the pointer to the first node (also called the head). We can then define the functions to perform the basic operations like insertion, deletion, and traversal. While implementing these functionalities, we have to be extra careful in keeping the check for the end of the linked list as it may easily lead to an infinite loop if missed. Basic Operations of Circular Linked ListFollowing are the basic operations on circular linked list:
For our linked list, we will only implement insertion at the end and traversal. C Program to Create a Circular Linked List
