Description
1 R Doubly linked lists
class Node:
def __init__(self, value = None):
self.value = value self.next_node = None self.previous_node = None
2 Using linked lists to represent polynomials
Write a program that implements a class Polynomial. An object of this class is built from a string that represents a polynomial, that is, a sum or difference of monomials.
• The leading monomial can be either an integer, or an integer followed by x, or an integer followed by xˆ followed by a nonnegative integer.
• The other monomials can be either a nonnegative integer, or an integer followed by x, or an integer followed by xˆ followed by a nonnegative integer.
Spaces can be inserted anywhere in the string.
A monomial is defined by the following class:
class Monomial:
def __init__(self, coefficient = 0, degree = 0):
self.coefficient = coefficient self.degree = degree self.next_monomial = None
A polynomial is a linked list of monomials, ordered from those of higher degree to those of lower degree. An implementation of the __str__() method allows one to print out a polynomial.
Next is a possible interaction.
