Interview Questionnaire 

3 Questions

  • Q1. How to find the middle of a linked list in one iteration.
  • Ans. 

    To find the middle of a linked list in one iteration, use two pointers with different speeds.

    • Initialize two pointers, one slow and one fast, both pointing to the head of the linked list.

    • Move the slow pointer one step at a time and the fast pointer two steps at a time.

    • When the fast pointer reaches the end of the linked list, the slow pointer will be at the middle node.
