programming Code in C that loops requesting information abou
programming Code in C that
loops requesting information about patients and inserting the information into a linked list:
call a function responsible for allocating the memory for the new item, requesting the following information for each patient: first name, last name, and patientid (an integer), and putting the information into the new item
the function mentioned in part a should return a pointer to the new item
call a function to insert the new item into the linked list
new patients should be added so that the list is in alphabetical order by the last name
leave the loop when the patient id is set to 0
displays the patient information in alphabetical order by the last name once all data has been provided. The first and last name and patient id for each patient should be displayed
