Finding the Middle Element in a Linked List

Given a singly linked list of N nodes. The task is to find the middle of the linked list. For example, if the linked list is
1-> 2->3->4->5, then the middle node of the list is 3.
If there are two middle nodes(in case, when N is even), print the second middle element.
For example, if the linked list given is 1->2->3->4->5->6, then the middle node of the list is 4.

A linked list is a data structure consisting of a sequence of nodes, where each node contains a value and a reference (or a pointer) to the next node in the sequence. Finding the middle element in a linked list involves determining the node that is located in the middle position of the list.

In this article, we will explore an algorithm to find the middle element in a linked list using Python. We will provide an implementation along with the code and demonstrate the output using a sample linked list.

Algorithm

To find the middle element in a linked list, we can use the “two-pointer” approach. We initialize two pointers, `slow` and `fast`, both pointing to the head of the linked list. The…
