Solution: Split a Circular Linked List

Understand how to split a circular linked list into two equal circular halves by using fast and slow pointers to find the midpoint efficiently, then adjust pointers to maintain two circular lists. This lesson helps you apply the technique for linked list cycle handling and splitting operations.

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 ...
