Let's run through the shots.

Linked-List Task Management SystemDynamic Data Structures in C
Built a command-line task-management application in C around dynamically allocated linked lists for active and completed tasks.
01–02 / OPENING SEQUENCE
Establishing the world
01 / Establishing Shot
The Problem
A dynamic task-management system needed to store an unknown number of changing tasks without relying on fixed-size collection storage.
02 / Wide Shot
The Context
The assignment introduced linked data structures, pointers and explicit memory management within a practical command-line application.

Role notes
DIVAKAR DESSAI
I designed the linked-list structures and implemented task creation, completion, deletion, sorting and historical tracking.
04 / CLOSE-UP
THE ENGINEERING CHALLENGE
Operations frequently changed the linked structure, so pointer manipulation had to remain correct across insertion, deletion and reordering.
05 / TRACKING SHOT
THE APPROACH
A plan emerges.
I represented each task as a dynamically allocated node and maintained separate linked collections for active and completed work.
06 / INSERT SHOTS
KEY FEATURES
The system takes shape.
07 / DIRECTOR'S NOTES
DESIGN DECISIONS
Things we decided along the way
01
Used linked lists to support dynamic collection size.
02
Separated active and completed tasks.
03
Stored task state directly within structured nodes.
