XOR Linked List

XOR Linked List is the memory efficient version of Doubly Linked List because it makes use of only one space for address field with every node. It provides facilitates list traversal in both forward and backward directions. Insertion and deletion operations take constant time

Data Structures

Skip List

A skip list is a data structure that is used for storing a sorted list of items with a help of hierarchy of linked lists that connect increasingly sparse subsequences of the items. A skip list allows the process of item look up in efficient manner. The time complexity of operations are O(log N)

Doubly Linked List

Doubly Linked List has the flexibility of traversing the list in both the ways i.e., forward and backward unlike singly linked list where movement is restricted in forward direction only. Doubly Linked List contains an extra pointer to link the previous node which enables the backward traversing.

Implementing Queue using Linked list

A queue (First in First out) is an ordered collection of items where the addition of new items happens at one end, called the rear, and removal of existing items occurs at the other end called front. It can be implemented using Linked Lists which brings many advantages over array implementation

Flattening a Linked List

In this article, we explored an algorithm to flatten a linked list where each node has two pointers with one to another linked list. Our approach explored a novel application of the merge component of merge sort to solve this problem.

Find the middle element of a singly Linked List

In this article, we will explore two approaches to find the middle element of a singly linked list. In one approach, we will use one traversal to count the number of elements and the other to find the middle element. The second approach is to use one traversal and concept of fast and slow pointers.

Singly Linked List

Singly Linked List is a variant of Linked List which allows only forward traversal of linked lists. This is a simple form yet it is effective for several problems such as Big Integer calculations. We will look into how various operations are performed and the advantages and disadvantages
