Write a C program that will use the circular doubly linked list.

X-Kingdom has trapped n number of soldiers of their opponent. They want to execute them. They found out a strategy so that the prisoners will kill each other and at the end one prisoner will be alive and he will be released. As part of the process, they labeled each trapped soldier a sequence number starting from 1 and ending at n. So, all the n number of prisoners standing in a circle waiting to be executed. However, one soldier was distracting the sequence and it was found out that they were standing in reverse order instead of proper order like the following (lets say n = 7): 7 -> 6-> 5-> 4 -> 3 -> 2-> 1 After realizing the wrong order of sequence, they reversed the circle to the correct order: 1 ->2-> 3-> 4 -> 5 -> 6-> 7 Now they will start the executing. The counting out begins at some point in the circle and proceeds around the circle in a fixed direction. In each step, a certain number of people are skipped and the next person is executed. The elimination proceeds around the circle (which is becoming smaller and smaller as the executed people are removed), until only the last person remains, who is given freedom. Given the total number of persons n and a number k which indicates that k-1 persons are skipped and kth person is killed in circle. The task is to choose the place in the initial circle so that you are the last one remaining and so survive. Example For example, if n = 5 and k = 2, then the safe position is 3. Firstly, the person at position 2 is killed, then person at position 4 is killed, then person at position 1 is killed. Finally, the person at position 5 is killed. So, the person at position 3 survives. If n = 7 and k = 3, then the safe position is 4. The persons at positions 3, 6, 2, 7, 5, 1 are killed in order, and person at position 4 survives. Input: n and k Output: Print the list of prisoners in reverse order from n to 1 Then reverse the list to print it in correct order from 1 to n Display the position number who will survive. Requirement: You must have to use circular doubly linked list for your solution. You need to declare appropriate doubly linked list node structure to store a soldier with sequence number as the data value. In addition to the other functions, you code must have to implement the following functions as use them part of the solution:

a. soldier* create_soldier (int sequence): It takes an integer, dynamically allocate a soldier structure and returns a soldier node

b. soldier* create_reverse_circle(int n): It takes an integer and create a circular doubly linked list with n number of soldiers placed them in descending sequence. For example, if n=5 it should produce a circular doubly linked list starting from 5 and ending at 1 as sequence number. After creating the circle, it returns the head of the circular linked list.

c. soldier* rearrange_circle(soldier* head): This function reverses a given circular doubly linked list where head is the head pointer. After reversing the linked list, it returns the head pointer of the updated linked list

d. void display(soldier* head): This function displays a given circular doubly linked list. head is head pointer of the linked list

e. int kill(soldier* head, int n, int k): This function takes head of the linked list, number of soldiers n, and skip value k as parameter and returns the sequence number of the survived soldier. So, this function is kind of perform the killing task based on specification discussed above.

Note that in addition to the above functions, you will utilize other linked list functions for insertion, deletion, and you may create more function as you need for your solution. During the killing process, there is no use of doubly part of the linked list. However, this part is mainly to exercise the implementation of doubly linked list
