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.

3. Project based question

4. Nth Fibonacci Number

Easy

Asked in companies

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.
