Idea Title

Polynomial Multiplication Using Linked Lists

Idea Description

Polynomial multiplication using singly linked lists

Write a C++ program to multiply two polynomials using singly linked lists. Each polynomial should be represented as a linked list where each node contains a coefficient and an exponent for a term. The program should take user input for two polynomials, perform the multiplication, and display the result.

Polynomial Representation: A polynomial is represented using a singly linked list. Each node in the list contains an integer coefficient for the coefficient of the term and an integer exponent for the exponent of the term. A pointer links the next node in the list.

Tasks: 1) Implement a function to multiply two polynomials (stored as linked lists). 2) Store the result in a new linked list, combining like terms.

Input:

  1. First polynomial: number of terms, followed by coefficient and exponent pairs.
  2. Second polynomial: number of terms, followed by coefficient and exponent pairs.

Output:

  1. Print the first and second polynomials in standard format.
  2. Print the resulting polynomial after multiplication, simplified.
  3. If both polynomials are zero, print "Both polynomials are empty."
