How do you find the middle of a linked list?
Write a C program to return the middle of a
linked list
#include<stdio.h>
#include<ctype.h>
typedef struct node
{
int value;
struct node *next;
struct node *prev;
}mynode;
void add_node(struct node **head, int value);
void print_list(char *listName, struct node *head);
void getTheMiddle(mynode *head);
int main()
{
mynode *head;
head = (struct node *)NULL;
add_node(&head, 1);
add_node(&head, 10);
add_node(&head, 5);
add_node(&head, 70);
add_node(&head, 9);
add_node(&head, -99);
add_node(&head, 0);
add_node(&head, 555);
add_node(&head, 55);
print_list("myList", head);
getTheMiddle(head);
getch();
return(0);
}
void getTheMiddle(mynode *head)
{
mynode *p = head;
mynode *q = head;
if(q!=NULL)
{
while((q->next)!=NULL && (q->next->next)!=NULL)
{

q=(q!=(mynode *)NULL?q->next:(mynode *)NULL);
}
printf("The middle element is [%d]",p->value);
}
}
void add_node(struct node **head, int value)
{
mynode *temp, *cur;
temp = (mynode *)malloc(sizeof(mynode));
temp->next=NULL;
temp->prev=NULL;
if(*head == NULL)
{

temp->value=value;
}
else
{

temp->value=value;
}
}
void print_list(char *listName, struct node *head)
mynode *temp;
printf("\n[%s] -> ", listName);
for(temp=head;temp!=NULL;temp=temp->next)
{
printf("[%d]->",temp->value);
