Given a singly linked list of 'N' nodes. The objective is to determine the middle node of a singly linked list. However, if the list has an even number of nodes, we return the second middle node.

Note:
1. If the list is empty, the function immediately returns None because there is no middle node to find.
2. If the list has only one node, then the only node in the list is trivially the middle node, and the function returns that node.
Problem approach

1) First find length of linked list through traversing.
2) then if length is odd then select the middle element.
3) If length is even then divide it by 2 and select next element after that.

You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. Return true if it has a cycle, else return false.


A cycle occurs when a node's next points back to a previous node in the list.


Example:
In the given linked list, there is a cycle, hence we return true.

Coding problem1

It was in evening and interviewer was also nice.

1. Puzzle Question

There is a room with a door (closed) and three light bulbs. Outside the room, there are three switches, connected to the bulbs. You may manipulate the switches as you wish, but once you open the door you can’t change them. Identify each switch with its bulb. All bulbs are in working condition.

Problem approach

Let the bulbs be X, Y, and Z
Turn on switch X for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn it off and turn on switch Y. Open the door and touch the light bulb.
1. the light is on from the bulb, it is Y

Now we will check other two off bulbs
2. the bulb which is hot, it is X
3. the bulb which is cold, it is Z
