You have given two sorted linked lists 'FIRST' and 'SECOND'. Your task is to build a new sorted list which contains the elements of given two sorted linked list.

For example:

If the first list is: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> NULL and the second list is: 2 -> 3 -> 5 -> NULL

Then new sorted linked list will be  1 -> 2 -> 2 -> 3 -> 3 -> 5 -> NULL.

1. Nth Fibonacci Number

Easy

Asked in companies
SAP LabsHCL TechnologiesWalmart

The n-th term of Fibonacci series F(n), where F(n) is a function, is calculated using the following formula -

    F(n) = F(n - 1) + F(n - 2), 
    Where, F(1) = 1, F(2) = 1


Provided 'n' you have to find out the n-th Fibonacci Number. Handle edges cases like when 'n' = 1 or 'n' = 2 by using conditionals like if else and return what's expected.

"Indexing is start from 1"


Example :
Input: 6

Output: 8

Explanation: The number is ‘6’ so we have to find the “6th” Fibonacci number.
So by using the given formula of the Fibonacci series, we get the series:    
[ 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21]
So the “6th” element is “8” hence we get the output.

SAP LabsSamsungIBM

You are given a linked list of 'n' nodes and an integer 'k', where 'k' is less than or equal to 'n'.


Your task is to reverse the order of each group of 'k' consecutive nodes, if 'n' is not divisible by 'k', then the last group of nodes should remain unchanged.


For example, if the linked list is 1->2->3->4->5, and 'k' is 3, we have to reverse the first three elements, and leave the last two elements unchanged. Thus, the final linked list being 3->2->1->4->5.


Implement a function that performs this reversal, and returns the head of the modified linked list.


Example:
Input: 'list' = [1, 2, 3, 4], 'k' = 2

Output: 2 1 4 3

Explanation:
We have to reverse the given list 'k' at a time, which is 2 in this case. So we reverse the first 2 elements then the next 2 elements, giving us 2->1->4->3.


Note:
All the node values will be distinct.
