Added three functions in total for singly linked list:

  1. reverseList- basically the reverse list from a given position in the list till the end.
    a->b->c->d->e->f
    reverseList(c)
    a->b->f->e->d->c

  2. detectLoop - It detects the loop in a given singly linked list using Floyd's tortoise and hare algorithm.
    a->b->c->d->e->f->g->h->c
    linkedlist.detectLoop() gives true in this case.

  3. swapNodes - It simply swaps the two given nodes themselves and not just their data. (In place swapping)
    a->b->c->d->e->f
    swapNodes(b,e)
    a->e->c->d->b->f

Describe your change:

  • Add an algorithm?
  • Fix a bug or typo in an existing algorithm?
  • Documentation change?
