3. Here is the structure declaration of a doubly linked list

struct dlink

{

int nodeid;

struct dlink *next;

struct dlink *prev;

} dlink_t;

A pointer of the head of the linked list is maintained as a global variable, whose definition is

dlink_t *head; The funt remove_element(dlink_t *rp), needs to remove the node pointed to the

rp and adjust the head. The first node's prev and the last node's next are NULL.

remove_element(dlink_t *rp)

{

rp->prev->next = rp->next;

rp->next->prev = rp->prev;

if( head == rp)

head = rp->next;

}

Which of the following statement is true about the fution remove_element

4. Consider the following function written in c:

char *

index(sp,c)

register char *sp,c;

{

do

} while (*sp++);

return NULL;

}

The first argument sp, is a pointer to a C string. The second argument, c, is a character. This

function scarches for the character c, in the string. If it is found a pointer to that location is

returned else NULL is returned. This function works

c) works when c is a non NULL character only

d) Works only when the character c is found in the string
