Answer the questions below
1fill in blank
easy

Complete the code to find the middle node of the linked list using slow and fast pointers.

DSA Python
slow = head
fast = head
while fast and fast.next:
    slow = slow.[1]
    fast = fast.next.next
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'
Anext
Bprev
Crandom
Dchild
Attempts:
3 left
💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using fast pointer's next instead of slow's next
Using prev instead of next

medium

Complete the code to reverse the second half of the linked list starting from the middle node.

DSA Python
prev = None
current = slow
while current:
    next_node = current.[1]
    current.next = prev
    prev = current
    current = next_node
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Cchild
Drandom

💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using prev instead of next
Not saving the next node before reversing
3fill in blank
hard

Fix the error in merging two halves of the linked list alternately.

DSA Python
first = head
second = prev
while second:
    temp1 = first.next
    temp2 = second.next
    first.next = second
    second.next = [1]
    first = temp1
    second = temp2
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

Csecond
Dtemp1

💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Linking second.next to temp2 causes cycle
Linking second.next to first causes incorrect order

Fill both blanks to complete the function that reorders the linked list.

DSA Python
def reorderList(head):
    if not head or not head.next:
        return
    slow = head
    fast = head
    while fast and fast.next:
        slow = slow.[1]
        fast = fast.next.next
    prev = None
    current = slow.[2]
    slow.next = None
Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint
Common Mistakes
Using prev instead of next
Using different pointers inconsistently
5fill in blank

Fill all three blanks to merge the two halves of the list correctly.

DSA Python
first = head
second = prev
while second:
    temp1 = first.next
    temp2 = second.next
    first.next = second
    second.next = [1]
    first = [2]
    second = [3]

Linking second.next incorrectly
Not updating pointers properly
