Implement an algorithm to reverse a singly linked list (with and without recursion).

Below is a sample implementation that reverses a singly linked list using recursion.
The simplest way to do this with recursion is:
void rev(Node* head, Node* prev)
{
if (!head) return;
rev(head->next, head);
head->next = prev;
}
Head is now pointing to the end instead of the start of the list. To fix that, you can use a wrapper
function like below:
void reverse(Node* &p)
{
if (!p) return;
for (Node* tmp = p; tmp->next; tmp = tmp->next) { }
rev(p, NULL);
p = tmp;
}
An iterative algorithm to reverse a singly linked list is presented below:
struct node *revlist (struct node *root)
{
struct node *np = root, *t, *r = 0;
while (np) {
root = np;
t = np->next;
np->next = r;
r = np;
np = t;
}
return root;
}
Note that an iterative solution to this problem is better than a recursive one, since every recursive
call uses up more memory on the stack, and large lists can cause the stack to overflow. The iterative
solution uses a constant amount of memory, so it’ll work fine no matter how big the list is. It is also
faster, because it avoids all of the recursive function calling overhead. In general, iterative solutions
are usually better in practice than recursive solutions.

  https://killer.sh Pre Setup Once you've gained access to your terminal it might be wise to spend ~1 minute to setup your environment. You could set these: alias k = kubectl                         # will already be pre-configured export do = "--dry-run=client -o yaml"     # k get pod x $do export now = "--force --grace-period 0"   # k delete pod x $now Vim To make vim use 2 spaces for a tab edit ~/.vimrc to contain: set tabstop=2 set expandtab set shiftwidth=2 More setup suggestions are in the tips section .     Question 1 | Contexts Task weight: 1%   You have access to multiple clusters from your main terminal through kubectl contexts. Write all those context names into /opt/course/1/contexts . Next write a command to display the current context into /opt/course/1/context_default_kubectl.sh , the command should use kubectl . Finally write a second command doing the same thing into ...
