computer notes - Linked list inside computer memoryecomputernotes
The document discusses linked lists and their implementation in C++. It contains the following key points:
1) A linked list stores data non-contiguously in memory by chaining together nodes that contain a data element and a pointer to the next node. The head pointer points to the first node.
2) To create a new node, the Node class constructor is called and passed the data element. This allocates memory and returns a pointer to the new node.
3) To insert a new node, its next pointer is set to the next node of the current node. The current node's next pointer is then set to the new node.
4) The List class manages the linked list by
The document provides lecture notes on linked lists and their operations. It contains the following information:
- An overview of linked lists including their memory representation using nodes with a data field and pointer to the next node.
- The main operations on linked lists - traversing, searching, inserting nodes at the start, end or a specified location, and deleting nodes from the start, end or a specified location.
- Details on implementing these operations in C++ including code examples for inserting, deleting and searching nodes in a linked list.
- Advantages of linked lists like flexibility in memory allocation and efficient operations like splitting and joining lists.
The document discusses linked lists, which are a data structure made up of nodes that are connected to each other via links. Each node contains a data field and a link field pointing to the next node. The last node's link points to null to indicate the end of the list. Linked lists allow dynamic memory allocation and easy insertion/deletion of nodes. Common operations on linked lists include traversing the list, inserting nodes, deleting nodes, and searching for a node. Doubly linked lists are also discussed, where each node contains links to both the previous and next nodes.

The document discusses different types of linked lists including singly linked lists, doubly linked lists, and circularly linked lists. Singly linked lists contain nodes that point to the next node in the list, while doubly linked lists contain nodes that point to both the next and previous nodes. Circularly linked lists form a circle with the last node pointing back to the first node. The document provides code examples for common linked list operations like insertion, removal and traversal for each of the linked list types.

Practical Task 5.1
(Pass Task)
Submission deadline: 10:00am Monday, August 26
Discussion deadline: 10:00am Saturday, September 14
General Instructions
The objective of this task is to study implementation of a Doubly Linked List, a generic data structure capable
to maintain an arbitrary number of data elements and support various standard operations to read, write,
and delete data. Compared to other popular data structures, linked list like data structures offer a number
of advantages with respect to time complexity and practical application. For example, where an array‐based
data structure, such as a simple list (or a vector), requires a contiguous memory location to store data, a
linked list may record new data elements anywhere in the memory. This is achievable by encapsulation of a
payload (the user’s data record) into a node, then connecting nodes into a sequence via memory references
(also known as links). Because of this, a linked list is not restricted in size and new nodes can be added
increasing the size of the list to any extent. Furthermore, it is allowed to use the first free and available
memory location with only a single overhead step of storing the address of memory location in the previous
node of a linked list. This makes insertion and removal operations in a linked list of a constant 1 time;
that is, as fast as possible. Remember that these operations generally run in a linear n time in an array
since memory locations are consecutive and fixed.
A doubly linked list outperforms a singly linked list achieving better runtime for deletion of a given data node
as it enables traversing the sequence of nodes in both directions, i.e. from starting to end and as well as from
end to starting. For a given a node, it is always possible to reach the previous node; this is what a singly linked
list does not permit. However, these benefits come at the cost of extra memory consumption since one
additional variable is required to implement a link to previous node. In the case of a simpler singly linked list,
just one link is used to refer to the next node. However, traversing is then possible in one direction only, from
the head of a linked list to its end.
1. To start, follow the link below and explore the functionality of the LinkedList<T> generic class available
within the Microsoft .NET Framework.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en‐au/library/he2s3bh7(v=vs.110).aspx.
Because some operations that you are asked to develop in this task are similar to those in the
LinkedList<T>, you may refer to the existing description of the class to get more insights about how your
own code should work.
2. Explore the source code attached to this task. Create a new Microsoft Visual Studio project and import
the DoublyLinkedList.cs file. This file contains a template of the DoublyLinkedList<T> class. The objective

The document discusses linked lists and their implementation in C. It begins with an overview of linked lists, their advantages over arrays, and representation in memory using node structures. It then provides examples of creating a simple linked list with 3 nodes, and functions for inserting and deleting nodes. Different types of linked lists are covered like doubly linked lists, circular linked lists, and their operations. Key points about each type of linked list and operations like insertion, deletion are summarized.
A linked list is a linear data structure where elements are linked using pointers. Each element contains a data field and a pointer to the next node. Linked lists allow for dynamic sizes and easy insertion/deletion. They are less cache friendly than arrays due to non-contiguous memory allocation. Common operations include insertion/deletion at the beginning, middle, or end which have time complexities ranging from O(1) to O(n) depending on the operation and presence of additional pointers. Doubly linked lists contain pointers to both the next and previous nodes, enabling traversal in both directions but using more memory.
- The document discusses implementing a stack data structure using a linked list to overcome the fixed size limitation of an array.
- When using a linked list, elements can be inserted at the start or end in constant time, but removing from the start is more efficient than the end.
- Therefore, the stack implementation inserts new nodes at the start of the linked list for the push() operation and removes nodes from the start for the pop() operation.
- Code examples are provided for the push() and pop() methods to demonstrate how elements are added and removed from the start of the linked list.
Static arrays are structures whose size is fixed at compile time and.pdfanjanacottonmills
Static arrays are structures whose size is fixed at compile time and therefore cannot be extended
or reduced to fit the data set. A dynamic array can be extended by doubling the size but there is
overhead associated with the operation of copying old data and freeing the memory associated
with the old data structure. One potential problem of using arrays for storing data is that arrays
require a contiguous block of memory which may not be available, if the requested contiguous
block is too large. However the advantages of using arrays are that each element in the array can
be accessed very efficiently using an index. However, for applications that can be better
managed without using contiguous memory we define a concept called “linked lists”.
A linked list is a collection of objects linked together by references from one object to another
object. By convention these objects are named as nodes. So the basic linked list is collection of
nodes where each node contains one or more data fields AND a reference to the next node. The
last node points to a NULL reference to indicate the end of the list.
Types of Linked Lists
Linked lists are widely used in many applications because of the flexibility it provides. Unlike
arrays that are dynamically assigned, linked lists do not require memory from a contiguous
block. This makes it very appealing to store data in a linked list, when the data set is large or
device (eg: PDA) has limited memory. One of the disadvantages of linked lists is that they are
not random accessed like arrays. To find information in a linked list one must start from the head
of the list and traverse the list sequentially until it finds (or not find) the node. Another advantage
of linked lists over arrays is that when a node is inserted or deleted, there is no need to “adjust”
the array.
There are few different types of linked lists. A singly linked list as described above provides
access to the list from the head node. Traversal is allowed only one way and there is no going
back. A doubly linked list is a list that has two references, one to the next node and another to
previous node. Doubly linked list also starts from head node, but provide access both ways. That
is one can traverse forward or backward from any node. A multilinked list (see figures 1 & 2) is
a more general linked list with multiple links from nodes. For examples, we can define a Node
that has two references, age pointer and a name pointer. With this structure it is possible to
maintain a single list, where if we follow the name pointer we can traverse the list in alphabetical
order of names and if we traverse the age pointer, we can traverse the list sorted by ages. This
type of node organization may be useful for maintaining a customer list in a bank where same
list can be traversed in any order (name, age, or any other criteria) based on the need.

The document summarizes a group project submitted by 5 students on basic data structures. It discusses topics like stacks, queues, linked lists, and the differences between static and dynamic data structures. It provides examples and definitions of basic linear data structures like stacks, queues, and deques. It also explains how insertions and removals work differently in static versus dynamic data structures due to their fixed versus flexible memory allocation.
The binary search is faster than the sequential search. The complexity of binary search is O(log n) whereas the complexity of a sequential search is O(n). Stacks are used to evaluate algebraic or arithmetic expressions using prefix or postfix notations. Heap sort involves creating a max heap from the array and then replacing the root with the last element and rebuilding the heap for the remaining elements, repeating this process to sort the entire array.

The document discusses data structures and provides an example program that uses a circular linked list to solve the Josephus problem. It explains how the program includes the CList class, which defines methods like add, remove, next, and get for manipulating the list. The program is able to efficiently solve the problem by using these pre-defined methods rather than implementing the logic directly. The document also discusses benefits of abstract data types and how they allow changing the underlying implementation without affecting programs, and introduces stacks as another important data structure.
This document provides an overview of a 16-week course on data structures and algorithms. It includes the following key points:
- The course covers a range of data structures (e.g. arrays, linked lists, trees) and algorithms (e.g. sorting, searching).
- Assessment is based on assignments, quizzes, midterm, and final exam.
- Each week covers a different data structure or algorithm topic, such as arrays, linked lists, sorting, trees, graphs, and shortest paths.
- The course learning objectives are to understand fundamental data structures, analyze time/space complexities, and select appropriate algorithms for applications.

to the end point of LL and then perform insertion - Insert to head function to insert data element at
the start of your LL - Design isEmpty to check if there is no data element in the LL - Why don't you
need to design isFull? - A Search function to search for any element provided by user - Update
function to update/replace one data element with another - A function Insert at index that will count
data elements in the LL and then place a new data element in the specified location. To know
exactly after which node we have to make insertion, we need count the elements and that will help
us to identify index (index doesn't exist actually, but we are using this term to get to know the
location for insertion) - A function Delete to delete the specified data element, for this you will have
to save the address of the next node that appears after the one to be deleted. Saving the address
will help you after deleting the element to concatenate the list with the elements appearing after
the element that is supposed to be deleted. - A function to print the data of LL.
The document discusses linked lists and their advantages over arrays. It begins with an overview of arrays and their pros and cons, then introduces linked lists as an alternative that overcomes some of the limitations of arrays. Key points covered include:
- Linked lists store elements in separate blocks of memory connected via pointers, unlike arrays which use a single block.
- This allows linked lists to dynamically allocate memory as needed, rather than having a fixed size like arrays.
- Common linked list operations like inserting and deleting nodes are described, including handling different cases like empty lists.
- Functions for traversing the list, printing elements, copying lists, and deleting nodes are presented.
The document discusses doubly linked lists (DLLs). It defines DLLs as lists where each node contains two pointers - one to the next node and one to the previous node, allowing traversal in both directions. This is compared to singly linked lists which only allow forward traversal. The key operations of DLLs - insertion, deletion, searching and traversal - are covered along with examples. Maintaining a dummy head node is presented as a way to simplify operations by avoiding special cases for the first and last nodes.
The document discusses various data structures and their operations. It begins by defining a tree as a non-linear data structure used to store hierarchical data. Binary trees are discussed, including their two implementation methods (linear and linked representations). Common tree traversals like inorder, preorder and postorder are defined. Applications of trees include syntax analysis, symbol tables and file systems. Binary search trees and AVL trees are also introduced, with AVL trees ensuring subtrees differ in height by at most one for efficient searching.
The document discusses different types of linked lists including singly linked lists, doubly linked lists, and circularly linked lists. Singly linked lists contain nodes that point to the next node in the list, while doubly linked lists contain nodes that point to both the next and previous nodes. Circularly linked lists form a circle with the last node pointing back to the first node. The document provides code examples for common linked list operations like insertion, removal and traversal for each of the linked list types.
This document discusses linked lists and office hours for assistance with the linked lists lecture and course assignments. Key points:
- Office hours are Tuesday and Friday from 2:30-4:00pm, where assignments must be submitted and queries answered. Students should follow office hours strictly.
- A linked list is a data structure where each item contains the address of the next item, unlike arrays which have a fixed size. Linked lists can dynamically increase in size as needed.
- The document discusses creating linked list nodes with an item field and pointer to the next node, and chaining the nodes together by modifying the pointers.

Practical Task 5.1
(Pass Task)
Submission deadline: 10:00am Monday, August 26
Discussion deadline: 10:00am Saturday, September 14
General Instructions
The objective of this task is to study implementation of a Doubly Linked List, a generic data structure capable
to maintain an arbitrary number of data elements and support various standard operations to read, write,
and delete data. Compared to other popular data structures, linked list like data structures offer a number
of advantages with respect to time complexity and practical application. For example, where an array‐based
data structure, such as a simple list (or a vector), requires a contiguous memory location to store data, a
linked list may record new data elements anywhere in the memory. This is achievable by encapsulation of a
payload (the user’s data record) into a node, then connecting nodes into a sequence via memory references
(also known as links). Because of this, a linked list is not restricted in size and new nodes can be added
increasing the size of the list to any extent. Furthermore, it is allowed to use the first free and available
memory location with only a single overhead step of storing the address of memory location in the previous
node of a linked list. This makes insertion and removal operations in a linked list of a constant 1 time;
that is, as fast as possible. Remember that these operations generally run in a linear n time in an array
since memory locations are consecutive and fixed.
A doubly linked list outperforms a singly linked list achieving better runtime for deletion of a given data node
as it enables traversing the sequence of nodes in both directions, i.e. from starting to end and as well as from
end to starting. For a given a node, it is always possible to reach the previous node; this is what a singly linked
list does not permit. However, these benefits come at the cost of extra memory consumption since one
additional variable is required to implement a link to previous node. In the case of a simpler singly linked list,
just one link is used to refer to the next node. However, traversing is then possible in one direction only, from
the head of a linked list to its end.
1. To start, follow the link below and explore the functionality of the LinkedList<T> generic class available
within the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Because some operations that you are asked to develop in this task are similar to those in the
LinkedList<T>, you may refer to the existing description of the class to get more insights about how your
own code should work.

the DoublyLinkedList.cs file. This file contains a template of the DoublyLinkedList<T> class. The objective

The document discusses linked lists and their implementation in C. It begins with an overview of linked lists, their advantages over arrays, and representation in memory using node structures. It then provides examples of creating a simple linked list with 3 nodes, and functions for inserting and deleting nodes. Different types of linked lists are covered like doubly linked lists, circular linked lists, and their operations. Key points about each type of linked list and operations like insertion, deletion are summarized.
A linked list is a linear data structure where elements are linked using pointers. Each element contains a data field and a pointer to the next node. Linked lists allow for dynamic sizes and easy insertion/deletion. They are less cache friendly than arrays due to non-contiguous memory allocation. Common operations include insertion/deletion at the beginning, middle, or end which have time complexities ranging from O(1) to O(n) depending on the operation and presence of additional pointers. Doubly linked lists contain pointers to both the next and previous nodes, enabling traversal in both directions but using more memory.
- The document discusses implementing a stack data structure using a linked list to overcome the fixed size limitation of an array.
- When using a linked list, elements can be inserted at the start or end in constant time, but removing from the start is more efficient than the end.
- Therefore, the stack implementation inserts new nodes at the start of the linked list for the push() operation and removes nodes from the start for the pop() operation.
- Code examples are provided for the push() and pop() methods to demonstrate how elements are added and removed from the start of the linked list.
Static arrays are structures whose size is fixed at compile time and.pdfanjanacottonmills
Static arrays are structures whose size is fixed at compile time and therefore cannot be extended
or reduced to fit the data set. A dynamic array can be extended by doubling the size but there is
overhead associated with the operation of copying old data and freeing the memory associated
with the old data structure. One potential problem of using arrays for storing data is that arrays
require a contiguous block of memory which may not be available, if the requested contiguous
block is too large. However the advantages of using arrays are that each element in the array can
be accessed very efficiently using an index. However, for applications that can be better
managed without using contiguous memory we define a concept called “linked lists”.
A linked list is a collection of objects linked together by references from one object to another
object. By convention these objects are named as nodes. So the basic linked list is collection of
nodes where each node contains one or more data fields AND a reference to the next node. The
last node points to a NULL reference to indicate the end of the list.
Types of Linked Lists
Linked lists are widely used in many applications because of the flexibility it provides. Unlike
arrays that are dynamically assigned, linked lists do not require memory from a contiguous
block. This makes it very appealing to store data in a linked list, when the data set is large or
device (eg: PDA) has limited memory. One of the disadvantages of linked lists is that they are
not random accessed like arrays. To find information in a linked list one must start from the head
of the list and traverse the list sequentially until it finds (or not find) the node. Another advantage
of linked lists over arrays is that when a node is inserted or deleted, there is no need to “adjust”
the array.
There are few different types of linked lists. A singly linked list as described above provides
access to the list from the head node. Traversal is allowed only one way and there is no going
back. A doubly linked list is a list that has two references, one to the next node and another to
previous node. Doubly linked list also starts from head node, but provide access both ways. That
is one can traverse forward or backward from any node. A multilinked list (see figures 1 & 2) is
a more general linked list with multiple links from nodes. For examples, we can define a Node
that has two references, age pointer and a name pointer. With this structure it is possible to
maintain a single list, where if we follow the name pointer we can traverse the list in alphabetical
order of names and if we traverse the age pointer, we can traverse the list sorted by ages. This
type of node organization may be useful for maintaining a customer list in a bank where same
list can be traversed in any order (name, age, or any other criteria) based on the need.
Designing the Node of a Linked List
Linked list is a collection of linked nodes. A node is a struct with at least a.

The document summarizes a group project submitted by 5 students on basic data structures. It discusses topics like stacks, queues, linked lists, and the differences between static and dynamic data structures. It provides examples and definitions of basic linear data structures like stacks, queues, and deques. It also explains how insertions and removals work differently in static versus dynamic data structures due to their fixed versus flexible memory allocation.
The binary search is faster than the sequential search. The complexity of binary search is O(log n) whereas the complexity of a sequential search is O(n). Stacks are used to evaluate algebraic or arithmetic expressions using prefix or postfix notations. Heap sort involves creating a max heap from the array and then replacing the root with the last element and rebuilding the heap for the remaining elements, repeating this process to sort the entire array.

The document discusses data structures and provides an example program that uses a circular linked list to solve the Josephus problem. It explains how the program includes the CList class, which defines methods like add, remove, next, and get for manipulating the list. The program is able to efficiently solve the problem by using these pre-defined methods rather than implementing the logic directly. The document also discusses benefits of abstract data types and how they allow changing the underlying implementation without affecting programs, and introduces stacks as another important data structure.
This document provides an overview of a 16-week course on data structures and algorithms. It includes the following key points:
- The course covers a range of data structures (e.g. arrays, linked lists, trees) and algorithms (e.g. sorting, searching).
- Assessment is based on assignments, quizzes, midterm, and final exam.
- Each week covers a different data structure or algorithm topic, such as arrays, linked lists, sorting, trees, graphs, and shortest paths.
- The course learning objectives are to understand fundamental data structures, analyze time/space complexities, and select appropriate algorithms for applications.

Linked Lists in Python | Python
Institute in Delhi
Linkedlist is one of the most complex data structure which is difficult to understand for
new programmers as well as professionals. So, In this article by a trainer from python
institute in Delhi, you will learn about linkedlist in detail
We’ve all heard of data structures in python, and linked lists are among the most
important data structures for both interviews and your coding journey. We will go
through various operations on the linked list and the Big O complexities as well. Before
we get into the liked list, we need to look into array because there are some issues with
arrays that linked list try to solve.
Let us say, we have an array of stock prices and have a memory layout of these stock
prices as shown.
2. Website: https://essinstitute.in/
Array in Python and its disadvantages
Basically, there are like five elements in this array. If you want to insert an element 284
at location number 1 then it will insert 284 at location number 1 and will swap all the
other elements. It will copy 305 from location 1 to 2, 320 from 2 to 3 and so on. In this
way, the array insertion complexity is order of n.
3. Website: https://essinstitute.in/
When you create an empty list in Python, Internally in the memory it will allocate some
capacity for that list.
It is allocating a capacity of five elements and when you start inserting elements one by
one, it will put those values in. Now at this stage when you have three elements and you
want to insert 284 at location number 1, what really happens is, firstly it will swap the
value at that place to make a space for 284. Here, you can see that there are 2 copy
operations while doing this.
Imagine doing same with million elements in your array. You will have to do million
swaps. Once it has a space for 284, it will insert it on the desired location.
There is another scenario where your array is full of capacity. Let’s say we have
populated all 5 elements in my list and now we want to insert 284 at location 1.
These are memory locations what are already filled and the one which are grayed out
those are allocated to a different program or some different variable in the same
program. The location after 292 cannot be used.
4. Website: https://essinstitute.in/
Hence, it will go into some different area of memory which is a RAM and it will allocate
more capacity and then it will copy all these elements one by one.
The Way dynamic array works in this situation is if the initial capacity is 5 then it will
allocate Additional 5 x 2 memory locations and will copy all these elements along with
284 to a new memory location. Here, the overhead is not only swapping the elements
but also allocating new memory as well as copying all elements to new memory area.
As we can conclude here that Arrays are not that efficient to use.
5. Website: https://essinstitute.in/
What is linked list?
Imagine having a data structure like this.
Here, the individual values are stored in two different areas of memory. Array store the
value in contiguous memory location whereas linked list is a type of data structure which
stores values at random memory locations, but those are linked by these pointers. First
element has a referenced to the address of my next element. What we mean to say is
next (second) element 305 is stored at the location 00A1 and the first element stores the
reference (address) of second element.
6. Website: https://essinstitute.in/
We are creating links here and through these links we can access the next element.
In this type of data structure say linked list, when you want to insert an element (284) at
location number one, it becomes very easy for you all. What you all need to do is
modifying the links of the nodes. We do not have to copy the values from one place to
another place.
All we will do is Change the address of this link to C702 because that’s address of 284.
Previously, it was 00A1. So, this insertion operation becomes extremely easy in this data
structure.
1. When you want to insert element at the beginning, the complexity is order of 1
that is constant.
Because all you are doing is creating a new node and then modify the link.
Similarly, if you want to delete the element from the beginning, time complexity
will be order of 1.
But, if you want to insert or delete the element at the end or in the middle of the
link list, the complexity is order of “n” because you have to iterate through all the
elements of the list.
This data structure is called linked list.
Main benefits of linkelist over an array
1. First, you don’t need to pre allocate the space. As you saw in the previous
example that we have to allocate a Capacity of 5 even before we have populated
any element. In linked list, you can allocate whatever is needed.
2. Seond biggest benefit is insertion/deletion is easier than arrays.

Time complexities of different operations in linkedlist
1. If you want to traverse a linked list, you have to go through element one by one
hence the complexity or Big O complexity of traversal is order of n.
2. Accessing element by value is also order of n.
3. Inserting element in the middle is order of “n” in both array and linked list.
Double linked list
There is another flavor of linked list called doubly linked list. Here, you don’t only have a
link to your next element but you have a link to your previous element as well.
Here, you can see that, this particular node through your file has a reference to next
element 00C5 but also has address of previous element 00500. If you want to do
backward traversing in doubly linked list, it is possible.
For example: let’s say you have 292 and you want to traverse the link in a reverse
direction. With doubly linked list, it becomes very easy.
Implementation of linked list in python:
Now, let’s implement linked list in Python. We have opened pycharm and we have
created two classes here.
1. The first class is a node class which represents an individual element in the
linked list. It has two class members. One is data and the second one is next
which is known to be a pointer to next element. Data can contain integer’s
numbers or complex objects.
2. The second class is a linked list class where you need a head variable which
points to the head of the linked list.

How to implement a linked list?
Creating a linkedlist requires defining a class for the nodes of the list and another class
for the linked list itself.
We’ve simply created a class called “linked list node” and we’ve set up a constructor that
takes in a value and automatically assigns the next to none. All we have to do here is
set “self.value= value” and “self.nextNode=nextNode” and we’re setting this value to
none in our parameters.
Let’s say we want to make a linkedlist that looks something “3 that points to 7 which then
points to 10.” Well, we can create your desired nodes by following code.
We just have three different nodes that aren’t connected to each other at this point.
The next thing to do is simply connect them together. For this, we can say
“node1.nextnode node2” and this creates the relationship of “node 1 points to node 2.”
Repeat the process for next node.

To test it out, we can write very basic code shown below and going to create a while
loop.
Inserting a new node at beginning
First we are going to implement a method called insert at beginning. What actually this
method is going to do is taking data value and inserting that at the beginning of the
linked list. Let’s say now you can create a new node with value data and then the next
element for that node. So you can see that the Second argument in this constructor of
Node class is a pointer to the next element.
Now, you already have a head and if you’re inserting anything in front of it, what’s going
to happen is: you will create a node element and the next value of that node will be your
current head and once that node is created you can say that my head now is new node.
Function to insert a node at the beginning:
So we will test this method out but for testing this we need one utility function called
print.

Inserting a new node at the ending of the linked list:
To insert a node at the end of the linked list, we can to insert it directly. We have to
traverse the complete linked list to reach at the end of the link list. Time complexity for
the insertion at the end operation in linked list is big O of n.
Try to run this code to “insert a new node” at the end of the linked list.

Circular linked list
A circular linked list is a type of linked list in which the end node points back to the initial
node, resulting in a circle or loop. In other words, in a circular linked list, the “next”
pointer of the last node points back to the first node in the list rather than to none, as it
would in a standard linked list.
There are not kind of wide variations in implementation of double linked list and circular
linked list. Try doing the over operations on both of these and grab some more
understanding of codes.
