changeorder

WARNING! VERY IMPORTANT!

For this exercise a function will be tested with the exam own main. However the student still needs to submit a structured program:

This means that:

• The package needs to be named package main.
• The submitted code needs one declared function main(func main()) even if empty.
• The function main declared needs to also pass the Restrictions Checker(illegal functions tester). It is advised for the student to just empty the function main after its own testing are done.
• Every other rules are obviously the same than for a program.

Instructions

You are given a linked list, where each node contains a single digit. Change order of linked list so that elements with odd index come first, elements with even index come afterwards. You have to return pointer/reference to the beginning of new list

Expected function and structure

package main

type NodeAddL struct {
	Next *NodeAddL
	Num  int
}

func Changeorder(node *NodeAddL) *NodeAddL {

}

Usage

Here is a possible program to test your function:

package main

import (
	"fmt"
)

// I implemented pushBack for this

func main() {
	num1 := &NodeAddL{Num: 1}
	num1 = pushBack(num1, 2)
	num1 = pushBack(num1, 3)
	num1 = pushBack(num1, 4)
	num1 = pushBack(num1, 5)

	result := Changeorder(num1)
	for tmp := result; tmp != nil; tmp = tmp.Next {
		fmt.Print(tmp.Num)
		if tmp.Next != nil {
			fmt.Print(" -> ")
		}
	}
	fmt.Println()
}

Its output:

$> go build
$> ./main
1 -> 3 -> 5 -> 2 -> 4
