How do we implement the functions of list (which was in python) as arrays in C language?

Question

I need to implement the "list" data-structure that we use in python. list in python : http://docs.python.org/tutorial/datastructures.html I have to implement the functions of list, considering the lists as arrays and need to allocate the memory to it dynamically. I need to use functions, pointers and structures wherever necessary. (In C language!)

Answer 1

To simulate linked list you must study these topics

1.Dynamic Memory allocation using malloc calloc realloc and free

2.Structures in c

3.Basic pointers in c For Dynamic Memory allocation you could visit

Dynamic Memory Allocation in c

A nice tutorial is given here Linked List in C

EDIT

The array implementation of a list is easier as compared to linked list implementaion.In array implementaion also you could use malloc to dynamically allocate memory for your array and realloc to increase/decrease the memory.

for e.g

int *base;
int initial_size; //Take Input from user.
base=(int *)malloc(sizeof(int) * initla_size);
if(!base)  //Ensure if memory is allocated
{
       //Rest of the code 
}
Now to insert eleements you could simply use 
base[i]=element;

But before this you must study how arrays and pointers work in C language, and more specifically Dynamic memeory allocation part..
