Middle Of The Linked List Problem


Description

LeetCode Problem 876.

Given the head of a singly linked list, return the middle node of the linked list. If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node.

Example 1:

1
2
3
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [3,4,5]
Explanation: The middle node of the list is node 3.

Example 2:

1
2
3
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: [4,5,6]
Explanation: Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [1, 100].
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 100
