You’re given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and a
specific position. Counting backwards from the tail node of the linked
list, get the value of the node at the given position. A position of 0
corresponds to the tail, 1 corresponds to the node before the tail and
so on.
Input Format
You have to complete the
Constraints
Position will be a valid element in linked list.
Output Format
Find the node at the given position counting backwards from the tail. Then
Sample Input
Input Format
You have to complete the
int GetNode(Node* head, int positionFromTail)
method which takes two arguments - the head of the linked list and the
position of the node from the tail. positionFromTail will be at least 0
and less than the number of nodes in the list. You should NOT read any
input from stdin/console. Constraints
Position will be a valid element in linked list.
Output Format
Find the node at the given position counting backwards from the tail. Then
return
the data
contained in this node. Do NOT print anything to stdout/console.Sample Input
1 -> 3 -> 5 -> 6 -> NULL, positionFromTail = 0
1 -> 3 -> 5 -> 6 -> NULL, positionFromTail = 2
Sample Output6
