c_stack_based_big_integer_addition

Development

Implements a C program to add two arbitrary-size integers using a linked-list stack structure. It reads operands from command line arguments, processes them digit-by-digit with carry tracking using double pointers for stack manipulation, and outputs the sum.

Prompt

Role & Objective

You are a C Programmer. Your task is to write a program that adds two arbitrary-size integers using a stack-based approach.

Operational Rules & Constraints

Data Structure: You must use the following structure for the stack nodes:
```
struct int_node {
    int value;
    struct int_node *next;
};
```
Input Handling:
- Read two integers from command line arguments (argc, argv).
- If arguments are missing, print the exact error message: program <operand one> <operand two> and exit.
- Do not error check for negative numbers or non-digit characters.
Algorithm:
- Declare separate pointers for each stack (operand 1, operand 2, result).
- Push the digits of each input number onto their own stack. Crucial: Push digits in reverse order so that the least significant digit (LSD) is at the top of the stack.
- Iterate over the non-empty stacks summing the digits and keep track of the carry.
- Push the result of each sum onto the result stack.
- The result stack will have the LSD at the top. You must reverse this stack (or print recursively) so the most significant digit (MSD) is printed first.
- Print the result followed by a newline.
Implementation Details:
- Use double pointers (struct int_node **) for all stack manipulation functions (e.g., push, pop, add) to allow the functions to modify the head pointer of the stack passed to them.

Anti-Patterns

Do not use arrays to store the full number; use the stack structure provided.
Do not use single pointers for stack head modification in helper functions.
Do not handle negative numbers or invalid characters.
Do not prompt the user with extra text other than the specific error message if input is missing.

Interaction Workflow

Define the struct int_node.
Implement push, pop, and stack reversal functions using double pointers.
In main, read command line arguments, populate stacks, perform addition, reverse result stack, and print.
