In this section we will go through some of the basic programming problems involving linked lists.
Search for a value in Linked List
Linked lists are made up of a sequence of nodes where each node links to the next one, forming a chain-like structure. Searching for a value in a linked list involves visiting each node in the list in sequence, access its value and checking if it is equal to the desired value.

Merging Multiple Linked Lists into a Single Linked List
Merging multiple linked lists involves combining two or more linked lists into a single, consolidated linked list. This operation is crucial for efficiently managing and manipulating large data which requires frequent regrouping or reordering. One example use case is in text editors, where text is often represented as a collection of linked lists (e.

Finding the Middle Node(s) in a Linked List Data Structure
Finding the middle node(s) in a linked list involves identifying the element(s) present at the center of a linked list data structure. This operation is crucial in various applications, such as efficiently splitting a linked list into two halves, optimizing certain algorithms that require balanced partitioning of data etc.

Reverse a linked list (iterative and recursive approaches)
A linked list consists of nodes where each node contains an item/value along with a reference to next node in the sequence. Reversing a linked list involves changing the direction of the links for each node, effectively flipping the linked list from its original order to the opposite.

Remove duplicates from a sorted linked list
Removing duplicate elements from a sorted linked list involves eliminating nodes with repeated occurrences of similar elements while maintaining the sorted order of the list.
In order to remove duplicates, we traverse through the linked list one node at a time while checking is the next node’s value is same a current node.

Merge two sorted linked lists into one sorted linked list
Merging two sorted linked lists involves combining all nodes present in each of the two input linked lists into a single linked list while maintaining their sorted order.
To accomplish this, we need consume the smallest head node among both the linked lists and add it to the final list.
