time out search element in linked list c++

To implement a timeout search for an element in a linked list in C++, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a class for the linked list node with the data and a pointer to the next node.
  2. Create a class for the linked list with methods to add elements, search for elements, and implement the timeout functionality.
  3. Implement the timeout functionality using a timer and a flag to indicate whether the search has timed out.
  4. When searching for an element, start the timer and set the flag.
  5. If the element is found before the timeout, stop the timer and clear the flag.
  6. If the timeout occurs before the element is found, stop the timer and handle the timeout event.

These steps will help you implement a timeout search for an element in a linked list in C++.
