Solution: Split a Circular Linked List

Understand how to split a circular linked list into two equal halves by applying the fast and slow pointer method. This lesson guides you to find the midpoint, break the list into two circular lists, and return their heads efficiently with O(n) time and O(1) space complexity.

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 ...
