Solution: Split a Circular Linked List
Explore how to split a circular linked list into two equal circular halves by applying the fast and slow pointers method. Understand the step-by-step approach to identify the middle node, break the list, and maintain circular links. This lesson helps you grasp an essential technique used in coding interviews to manipulate linked lists effectively and optimize time and space complexity.
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 ...
