Problem approach

Ans:- 1

2. Guess the output question

Problem approach

Ans:- 0 2
/* p points to i and q points to j */
void f(int *p, int *q)
{
p = q; /* p also points to j now */

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

firstly find the mid and iterate till the mid.
