Middle of a Linked List (LeetCode 876) | Full Solution with animations | Study Algorithms

Given any type of a list, finding the mid point feels very natural and fundamental. Determining the middle point of a linked list can be a bit tricky as we only have access to the head node. Watch this video to understand how we can use the hare and tortoise algorithm to find the middle of a linked list efficiently. All along with animations and a dry-run of code in JAVA.
