Solution: Split a Circular Linked List
Explore how to split a circular linked list into two equal halves by using the fast and slow pointer approach. Understand the step-by-step method to identify the midpoint, break the circular link appropriately, and maintain the circular structure in both resulting lists. This lesson guides you through optimizing linked list operations with O(n) time and constant space complexities, enhancing your data structure manipulation skills.
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 ...
