how to check whether a linked list is circular.

Answer Posted / coder_1

Create two pointers, each set to the start of the list.
Update each as follows:

while (pointer1) {
pointer1 = pointer1->next;
pointer2 = pointer2->next; if (pointer2)
pointer2=pointer2->next;
if (pointer1 == pointer2) {
print (\"circular\n\");
}
}

If a list is circular, at some point pointer2 will wrap
around and be either at the item just before pointer1, or
the item before that. Either way, it?s either 1 or 2 jumps
until they meet.

In a gymnastic competition, scoring is based on the average of all scores given by the judges excluding the maximum and minimum scores. Let the user input the number of judges, after that, input the scores from the judges. Output the average score. Note: In case, more than two judges give the same score and it happens that score is the maximum or minimum then just eliminate two scores. For example, if the number of judges is 5 and all of them give 10 points each. Then the maximum and minimum score is 10. So the computation would be 10+10+10, this time. The output should be 10 because 30/3 is 10.
