Advanced Problems in Linked List Data Structure

In this section we will go through some of the advanced programming problems involving linked lists.

Different techniques for Detecting and Removing Loops in Linked Lists

Detecting loops or cycles in a linked list refers to the process of determining whether the last node of the linked list points to some other previous node in the linked list. In a normal linked list, each node has a reference to the next node in sequence, and the last node points to null. Read More

Finding Intersecting Node of Two Linked Lists

Intersecting linked lists are two separate linked lists which share a common node or sequence of nodes. This occurs when two initially distinct lists converge at a specific point, creating a Y-shaped structure. Intersecting linked lists are often used to model real-world scenarios such as network topologies or genealogical trees. Read More

Check if a given Linked List is Palindrome

A palindrome is a sequence of numbers or characters that reads the same forwards and backwards. For example, words like “radar” or “madam” are palindromes. The sequence of letters are the same when read in forward direction or in reverse direction. Read More
