Learn to find the middle node of a singly linked list in Java using a slow and fast pointer approach, handling both even and odd node counts.
Detect a loop in a Java singly linked list using slow and fast pointers in a contains loop method that returns a boolean.
Print elements of a doubly linked list in Java by displaying forward from head to null using next pointers, then backward from tail to null using previous pointers.
Learn how to represent a circular singly linked list in Java by maintaining a head and a last node, with last.next pointing to the first and enabling insertions.
Implement a circular singly linked list in Java by maintaining a last node reference and a size field, with a private node class holding data and next pointers.
Insert a node at the beginning of a circular singly linked list, handling empty lists by setting last and linking the new node before the first, updating the list length.
