This is very language-dependent. In assembly it's no problem at all! In C you must coerce to an integer type where xor is possible.
The portable way to make this work including 64-bit systems is to use type uintptr_t from stdint.h. Not all compilers have this. Perhaps the next best hing to try is size_t, which is declated in stdlib.h . However this is not guarenteed to be big enough. It will probably work on most systems however. So you'd compute the xor of two pointers p and q with: size_t xored_pointers = (size_t)p ^ (size_t)q; On Nov 24, 3:07 pm, kumar raja <rajkumar.cs...@gmail.com> wrote: > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_linked_list > > In this link i have seen about Xor linked list ,but my doubt is how will u > perform xor on Address of nodes. > > I have tried to perform xor on addresses of two values ,so how is it > possible to use that technique. > > Also tell me whether there are any extra rules to follow during > insert,delete and search > -- > Regards > Kumar Raja > M.Tech(SIT) > IIT Kharagpur, > 10it60...@iitkgp.ac.in -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Algorithm Geeks" group.
