Algorithm for Deletion at beginning of the list

DELETE AT BEG(INFO,NEXT,START)

1.IF(START=NULL)

2.ASSIGN PTR = STRAT 

3.ASSIGN TEMP = INFO[PTR]

4.ASSIGN START = NEXT[PTR]

5.FREE(PTR) 

6.RETURN(TEMP)

Fuction of Deletion at the front of Linked list

void deleteatbeg(node **start)

{ 

	node *ptr;

	int temp;

	ptr = *start ;

	temp = ptr->info;

	*start = ptr->next ;

	free(ptr);

	printf("\nDeleted item is %d : \n",temp);

}
