- Increased complexity in managing the structure.
- Higher overhead for searching elements compared to arrays due to traversal.
- Requires extra memory for maintaining the additional array-like structure within each node.
Example Code:
Here's a simple implementation of an unrolled linked list in Python:
class Node:
def __init__(self, capacity):
self.capacity = capacity
self.elements = []
self.next = None
class UnrolledLinkedList:
def __init__(self, node_capacity):
self.node_capacity = node_capacity
self.head = None
def append(self, data):
if not self.head:
self.head = Node(self.node_capacity)
current = self.head
while current.next:
current = current.next
if len(current.elements) < current.capacity:
current.elements.append(data)
else:
new_node = Node(self.node_capacity)
new_node.elements.append(data)
current.next = new_node
def display(self):
current = self.head
while current:
print(current.elements)
current = current.next
# Example usage:
if __name__ == "__main__":
ull = UnrolledLinkedList(3)
ull.append(1)
ull.append(2)
ull.append(3)
ull.append(4)
ull.append(5)
ull.display()
This code demonstrates the basic functionality of an unrolled linked list, including appending elements and displaying the contents of the list. You can modify and extend it as per your requirements.
