Procedure to remove a node from a given position in a circular linked list.
void delete(struct node *ptr, int position) {
// If the current head node is to be deleted
if (position == 1) {
while (ptr -> next != head) {
ptr = ptr -> next;
}
if (ptr == head) {
free(head);
head = NULL;
} else {
// Change the link
ptr -> next = head -> next;
// Deallocate the memory
free(head);
// Change head
head = ptr -> next;
}
}
// If node from any other position is to be deleted
else {
// Traverse to the required node
for (int i = 0; i < position - 2; i++) {
ptr = ptr -> next;
}
// Pointer for the node to be deleted
struct node *toDelete;
toDelete = ptr -> next;
// Change the link
ptr -> next = toDelete -> next;
// Deallocate the memory
free(toDelete);
}
