Convert to Linked List

TIP101 Unit 5 Session 2 (Click for link to problem statements)

U-nderstand

Understand what the interviewer is asking for by using test cases and questions about the problem.

• How are elements added to a linked list?
  • Each node in a linked list points to the next node through a reference called next.

P-lan

Plan the solution with appropriate visualizations and pseudocode.

General Idea: Create two nodes representing the values "Jigglypuff" and "Wigglytuff" and link them together to form a simple linked list.

1) Instantiate a node with the value "Jigglypuff" and store it in `jigglypuff`.
2) Instantiate another node with the value "Wigglytuff" and store it in `wigglytuff`.
3) Set the `next` attribute of `jigglypuff` to point to `wigglytuff`, creating a link between them.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

• Forgetting to link the nodes by not setting the next attribute.
• Misunderstanding the sequence of the list and linking nodes in the wrong orde

I-mplement

jigglypuff = Node("Jigglypuff")
wigglytuff = Node("Wigglytuff")
jigglypuff.next = wigglytuff
