Print the elements of a singly linked list in reverse order

Problem Statement Given a singly linked list, print its elements in reverse order. For example: Input : 1->2->3->4->NULL Output: Printing the linked list in reverse order: 4 3 2 1 Solution First of all, readers should be clear that this problem is not the same as reversing the linked list. In this problem, we just need to…

The minimum absolute difference between two elements in an Array

Problem Statement Given an array of integers, find and print the minimum absolute difference between any two elements in the array. Absolute difference (definition from Wikipedia): In mathematics, the absolute value or modulus of a real number x, denoted |x|, is the non-negative value of x without regard to its sign. Namely, |x| = x if x is positive, and |x| = −x if x is negative (in which case −x is positive), and |0| = 0. For example, the absolute value…

Find the sum of all the elements in an array

Problem Statement Given an array of integers, find the sum of all its elements. For example: Input: arr = {1,9,-11,6,23} Output: 28 Input: arr = {4,4,9,5} Output:22 Solution Probably a very easy problem. We will try to solve it in multiple ways. Let’s begin the tutorial. Approach 1 – Simple Looping The most obvious way…

Deleting a linked list in C++

Problem Statement Given a linked list, write a program to delete it. For Example Input: 2->4->6->9->NULL *After the Deletion* Output: The Linked List is Empty. Overview Before moving forward, it is necessary to clarify what we actually mean by deletion of the linked list. By deletion, we don’t mean to point the head of the…
