Problem: Middle of the Linked List

Easy
15 min
Explore how to identify the middle node in a singly linked list by applying fast and slow pointer methods. This lesson helps you understand the logic behind finding the midpoint, including handling lists with even numbers of nodes, preparing you for related coding interview challenges.

Statement

Given the head of a singly linked list, return the middle node of the linked list. If the number of nodes in the linked list is even, there will be two middle nodes, so return the second one.

Constraints:

Let n be the number of nodes in a linked list.

  • 11 \leq n 100\leq 100
  • 11 \leq Node.value 100\leq 100
  • head \neq NULL
