This is a normal interview question, which goes like this
"Given a linked list of integers, delete every mth node and return the
last remaining node."
eg: Linked list = 4->6->7->3->5->6->10->1->23->17
Delete every 3rd node (m = 3) and return the last remaining node
meaning...
4->6->3->5->10->1->17
4->3->5->1->17
3->5->17
3->17
3
after deleting every 3rd node the last remaining node is 3, so node
with data 3 is returned.
function prototype:
node* deleteEveryMth( node** head, int m)
{
// .... your code
}
thanks

Further interrogation would be required to determine that. I must
admit that, based on your answers, I would need to excuse myself for a
moment while I grabbed my Schildt hard-copy of the standard. I'd
recite a good number of carefully chosen passages from the text of the
book, and simply ask you after each citation: "Am I reading from the
left or the right page"? Answer them all and you'd score an 11.
Easy-peasy. "Yes. Yes. Yes." (Watching interviewer's eyes carefully...) "No,
you just made that one up. Yes. Yes. No. ..."

Hello
I have a linked list of object of a class. I thought it would be nice to
have the destructor delete the whole list when I delete just the first
element. I don't want to recursivly destroy the list elements; the list is
arbitrary long. Something like this:
class ListElem
{
char Datum;

Hello Everyone,
The solution to this is to copy the data from the next node into this
node and delete the next node!.
1. But if the node to be deleted is the last node. Then what should we
do ?
2. If the list is Head node?
3 If the list is circular then what all conditions we need to check?
Thanks,

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
