sending hcl and tcs papers..1.HCL has two divisions a) technology division b)applicationdivision.if astudent opts for a) then he has to give 2 papers 1)aptitude(25questions) 2)technical(30 approx).if he opts for application fieldthen hehasto give onlyapti paper which is same as that of techni paper.

2.after the written results are declared thetechnology studentsare givenanother test of 15 minutes in which they have to writea C

program(reversingstring, reversing singly/doubly link list(FAVOURITE))and theninterview istaken.

3.if you have good command in comp s then opt for technology

paper.

4.in apti(for tech people) if you do 8-10 out of 25then it isonsafe side.

SECTION III - ANALYSIS PROGRAM SEGMENTS---------------------------------------

1) Here is the structure declaration of a doubly

linked list

struct dlink {int nodeid;struct dlink *next;struct dlink *prev;} dlink_t;

A pointer of the head of the linked list is maintainedas a global variable, whose definition isdlink_t *head;

The funtion remove_element(dlink_t *rp), needs toremove the node

pointed to the rp and adjust the head.

The first node's prev and the last node's next are NULL.
