A polynomial is represented by a series of lines, each of which has two integers. The first integer represents the coefficient; the second integer represents the exponent. Thus, the first polynomial in Figure 5-35 is although the list in Figure 5-35 is represented as moving from right to left, there is no physical direction in a list. We represent it in this way to clarify the problem.

To add two polynomials, the program reads the coefficients and exponents for each polynomial and places them into a linked list. The input can be read from separate files or entered from the keyboard with appropriate user prompts. After the polynomials have been stored, they are added and the results are placed in a third linked list.
