You are given a Singly Linked List of integers. You have to return true if the linked list is palindrome, else return false.


A Linked List is a palindrome if it reads the same from left to right and from right to left.


Example:
The lists (1 -> 2 -> 1), (3 -> 4 -> 4-> 3), and (1) are palindromes, while the lists (1 -> 2 -> 3) and (3 -> 4) are not.
Problem approach

Copy the linked list in array then using two pointers check it for palindrome.
next optimisation is 
using slow pointer and fast pointer reverse the second half of the linked list then traverse from last to middle and start to middle check for palindrome.

Goldman SachsMicrosoftVMware Inc

You are given a matrix ‘mat’ of ‘N’ rows and ‘M’ columns. Your task is to return the Zig-Zag order of the matrix.

The Zig-Zag order of a 5 x 5 matrix is given below

zigZag

For example:
You are a given the matrix -: 
    ‘mat’ = [[1, 2, 3], 
            [4, 5, 6], 
            [7, 8, 9]]
Here the Zig-Zag order of the given matrix is [1, 2, 4, 7, 5, 3, 6, 8, 9]. Hence the answer is [1, 2, 4, 7, 5, 3, 6, 8, 9].
Problem approach

Use a loop to iterate through each row of the matrix.
For each row, use another loop to iterate through each column of the matrix.
Determine whether the current row and column position should be printed normally or in reverse order, based on whether the row and column indices are odd or even.
Print the value at the current row and column position, using a space or other delimiter to separate it from the next value.
Repeat this process for all rows and columns of the matrix, until the entire matrix has been printed in jigjag format.
