    Difference between macro and inline functions ?

    Answer:
    1. Inline follows strict parameter type checking, macros do not.
    2. Macros are always expanded by preprocessor, whereas compiler may or may not replace the inline definitions.
    3. Compiler has no idea about macros, compiler knows about inline functions.
    4. Inline follows strict parameter type checking, macros do not.
    5. Macros are always expanded by preprocessor, whereas compiler may or may not replace the inline definitions.

    return null;
    }
    LinkedListNode p1 = head;
    LinkedListNode p2 = head;
    for (int j = 0; j < n - 1; ++j) { // skip n-1 steps ahead
    if (p2 == null) {
    return null; // not found since list size < n
    }
    p2 = p2.next;
    }
    while (p2.next != null) {
    p1 = p1.next;

    Write a code for reversing a linked list, recursive and non-recursive.

    Answer:
    Non-Recursive
    ========

    void reverse(struct node ** head)
    {
    struct node* prev = NULL;
    struct node* current = *head;
    struct node* next;
    while (current != NULL)
    {
    next = current->next;
    current->next = prev;
    prev = current;
    current = next;
    }
    *head = prev;
    }
    This trick might help you
    there are three pointer ( prev, current, next)
    next = current*
    current* = prev
    prev = current
    current = next

    if we see from above logic then before = is like top to bottom then bottom to top .
    * marked pointer will have next.

    Recursive
    =======


    struct node * recLinkedList(struct node *head, struct node *prev)
    {
    struct node *tmp = head->next;
    head->next = prev;
    if ( tmp != NULL)
    recLinkedList(tmp, head);

    return head
    }

    int main()
    {
    struct node *head = recLinkedList (head, NULL);
    }
