C# - Singly Linked Circular List
I have given here C# sample code for singly linked circular list, filling elements and traversal in forward direction and counting the number of elements in the list.
Singly Linked List, Doubly Linked List, Singly Linked Circular List and Doubly Linked Circular List are an important data structure used in C# applications.
The main difference between singly linked list and singly linked circular list are the next node pointer of last node is NULL in case of singly linked list where as next node pointer of last node is first node in case of singly linked circular list.
If there is only one node in singly linked circular list, then this condition will be true (this == this->next)
