Writing c program(s) using dynamic data structures
| // Chapter 17 Exercise 1: |
| // Modify Listing 17.2 so that it displays the movie list both in the original |
| // order and in reverse order. One approach is to modify the linked-list |
| // definition so that the list can be traversed in both directions. Another |
// approach is to use recursion.
