Asked in companies
Given the head node of the singly linked list and an integer ‘k’, , find the value at the kth node from the end of the linked list.
For example:
For the above-linked list, if k=2, then the value at the kth i.e second node from the end is ‘12’.
Note :
1.You don’t need to take any input. It has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function and return a pointer pointing to the k-th element from the last of the linked list.
2.It is guaranteed that k<=size of the linked list.
Problem approach
Explained the approach by using 2 traversals - First to find the length of list and then to delete the node.
Also, discussed an approach to do it in one traversal.
