+/**
+ * @file singly_linked_list.c
+ * @brief Implementation of a singly linked list in C.
+ *
+ * This file implements a singly linked list with the following operations:
+ * 1. Insert at the beginning
+ * 2. Insert at the end
+ * 3. Insert at a specific position
+ * 4. Delete from the beginning
+ * 5. Delete from the end
+ * 6. Delete from a specific position
+ * 7. Display the linked list
+ *
+ * Time Complexity:
+ *   - Insert at beginning: O(1)
+ *   - Insert at end: O(n)
+ *   - Insert at position: O(n)
+ *   - Delete at beginning: O(1)
+ *   - Delete at end: O(n)
+ *   - Delete at position: O(n)
+ *   - Display: O(n)
