Define a function called get_predecessor() which takes a Node object and a value as parameters. The function should search the chain of nodes starting at the parameter node and returns the node which comes before the node containing the parameter value. If the parameter value is NOT in the chain of nodes or the parameter value is in the first node of the chain, the function returns None.
Types of Linked List
A sequence of data elements connected through links is called a linked list (LL). The elements of a linked list are nodes containing data and a reference to the next node in the list. In a linked list, the elements are stored in a non-contiguous manner and the linear order in maintained by means of a pointer associated with each node in the list which is used to point to the subsequent node in the list.
Linked List
When a set of items is organized sequentially, it is termed as list. Linked list is a list whose order is given by links from one item to the next. It contains a link to the structure containing the next item so we can say that it is a completely different way to represent a list. In linked list, each structure of the list is known as node and it consists of two fields (one for containing the item and other one is for containing the next item address).
