Insert a Node at the Tail of a Linked List - Hacker Rank Solution

You are given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to add to the list. Create a new node with the given integer. Insert this node at the tail of the linked list and return the head node. The given head pointer may be null, meaning that the initial list is empty.

Insert a Node at the Tail of a Linked List


Input Format
You have to complete the Node* Insert(Node* head, int data) method. It takes two arguments: the head of the linked list and the integer to insert. You should not read any input from the stdin/console.
Output Format
Insert the new node at the tail and just return the head of the updated linked list. Do not print anything to stdout/console.
Sample Input
NULL, data = 2
2 --> NULL, data = 3
Sample Output
2 -->NULL
2 --> 3 --> NULL
Explanation
1. We have an empty list, and we insert 2.
2. We start with a 2 in the tail. When 3 is inserted, 3 then becomes the tail
