Add the following operation to the class orderedLinkedList: 1 answer below »
a. Add the following operation to the class orderedLinkedList:
void mergeLists(orderedLinkedList<Type> &list1,
orderedLinkedList<Type> &list2);
//This function creates a new list by merging the
//elements of list1 and list2.
//Postcondition: first points to the merged list
// list1 and list2 are empty
Consider the following statements:
orderedLinkedList<int> newList;
orderedLinkedList<int> list1;
orderedLinkedList<int> list2;
Suppose list1 points to the list with the elements 2 6 7, and list2 points to the list with the elements 3 5 8. The statement:
newList.mergeLists(list1, list2);
creates a new linked list with the elements in the order 2 3 5 6 7 8, and the object newList points to this list. Also, after the preceding statement executes, list1 and list2 are empty.
b. Write the definition of the function template mergeLists to implement the operation mergeLists.
