数据结构——多项式的加法

用链表实现多项式加法：其本质就是用结点表示出一项的系数与幂，按幂的次方顺序从小到大（或从大到小）排列即可。两个多项式相加时，对分别两项次方数进行比较，然后或连接，或删除，或相加。

结构体的选择：两个数据与一个指针域

#include <stdio.h>
#include <malloc.h>

/**
 * Linked list of integers. The key is data. The key is sorted in non-descending order.
 */
typedef struct LinkNode {
	int coefficient; //系数
	int exponent; //指数
	struct LinkNode* next;
} *LinkList, * NodePtr;

初始化

/**
 * Initialize the list with a header.
 * @return The pointer to the header.
 */
LinkList initLinkList() {
	LinkList tempHeader = (LinkList)malloc(sizeof(struct LinkNode));
	tempHeader->coefficient = 0;
	tempHeader->exponent = 0;
	tempHeader->next = NULL;
	return tempHeader;
}// Of initLinkList

打印链表与节点

/**
 * Print the list.
 * @param paraHeader The header of the list.
 */
void printList(LinkList paraHeader) {
	NodePtr p = paraHeader->next;
	while (p != NULL) {
		printf("%d * 10^%d + ", p->coefficient, p->exponent);
		p = p->next;
	}// Of while
	printf("\r\n");
}// Of printList

/**
 * Print one node for testing.
 * @param paraPtr The pointer to the node.
 * @param paraChar The name of the node.
 */
void printNode(NodePtr paraPtr, char paraChar) {
	if (paraPtr == NULL) {
		printf("NULL\r\n");
	}
	else {
		printf("The element of %c is (%d * 10^%d)\r\n", paraChar, paraPtr->coefficient, paraPtr->exponent);
	}// Of while
}// Of printNode

添加元素

/**
 * Add an element to the tail.
 * @param paraCoefficient The coefficient of the new element.
 * @param paraExponent The exponent of the new element.
 */
void appendElement(LinkList paraHeader, int paraCoefficient, int paraExponent) {
	NodePtr p, q;

	// Step 1. Construct a new node.
	q = (NodePtr)malloc(sizeof(struct LinkNode));
	q->coefficient = paraCoefficient;
	q->exponent = paraExponent;
	q->next = NULL;

	// Step 2. Search to the tail.
	p = paraHeader;
	while (p->next != NULL) {
		p = p->next;
	}// Of while

	// Step 3. Now add/link.
	p->next = q;
}// Of appendElement

将两链表相加：典型的双指针问题，p、q分别在paraList1,paraList2上移动，r记录上一结点便于插入，s为了便于删除结点

此处是将paraList2合并到paraList1上：

        1.跳过虚拟头结点

        2.while循环，终止条件为p或q为NULL，既paraList1或paraList2到了表尾

        3.如果p<q，则按顺序r下一个接p，p后移

        4.如果p>q ，则按顺序r应该下一个接q，q后移

        5.如果p=q，则p+=q即可，同时释放s，r接p，p、q同时后移，如果相加后p=0，则删除p、q，r不变。

/**
 * Polynomial addition.
 * @param paraList1 The first list.
 * @param paraList2 The second list.
 */
void add(NodePtr paraList1, NodePtr paraList2) {
	NodePtr p, q, r, s;

	// Step 1. Search to the position.
	p = paraList1->next;
	printNode(p, 'p');
	q = paraList2->next;
	printNode(q, 'q');
	r = paraList1; // Previous pointer for inserting.
	printNode(r, 'r');
	free(paraList2); // The second list is destroyed. 

	while ((p != NULL) && (q != NULL)) {
		if (p->exponent < q->exponent) {
			//Link the current node of the first list.
			printf("case 1\r\n");
			r->next = p;
			r = p;
			printNode(r, 'r');
			p = p->next;
			printNode(p, 'p');
		}
		else if ((p->exponent > q->exponent)) {
			//Link the current node of the second list.
			printf("case 2\r\n");
			r->next = q;
			r = q;
			printNode(r, 'r');
			q = q->next;
			printNode(q, 'q');
		}
		else {
			printf("case 3\r\n");
			//Change the current node of the first list.
			p->coefficient = p->coefficient + q->coefficient;
			printf("The coefficient is: %d.\r\n", p->coefficient);
			if (p->coefficient == 0) {
				printf("case 3.1\r\n");
				s = p;
				p = p->next;
				printNode(p, 'p');
				// free(s);
			}
			else {
				printf("case 3.2\r\n");
				r = p;
				printNode(r, 'r');
				p = p->next;
				printNode(p, 'p');
			}// Of if
			s = q;
			q = q->next;
			//printf("q is pointing to (%d, %d)\r\n", q->coefficient, q->exponent);
			free(s);
		}// Of if

		printf("p = %ld, q = %ld \r\n", p, q);
	} // Of while
	printf("End of while.\r\n");

	if (p == NULL) {
		r->next = q;
	}
	else {
		r->next = p;
	} // Of if

	printf("Addition ends.\r\n");
}// Of add

 */
void additionTest1() {
	// Step 1. Initialize the first polynomial.
	LinkList tempList1 = initLinkList();
	appendElement(tempList1, 7, 0);
