Solution: Split a Circular Linked List
Understand how to split a circular linked list into two equal halves by using the fast and slow pointer method. This lesson teaches you to identify the middle of a circular linked list, break it into two circular sublists, and manage node pointers efficiently.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given a circular linked list, list, of positive integers, split it into two circular linked lists. The first circular linked list should contain the first half of the nodes (exactly ⌈list.length / 2⌉ nodes) in the same order they appeared in the original list, while the second circular linked list should include the remaining nodes in the same order.
Return an array, answer, of length 2, where:
answer[0]is the head of the circular linked list representing the first half.answer[1]is the head of the circular linked list representing the second half.
Note: A circular linked list is a standard linked list where the last node points back to the first node.
Constraints:
Let n be the number of nodes in a linked list.
