Problem 6
Description
This problem was asked by Google.
An XOR linked list is a more memory efficient doubly linked list. Instead of each node holding next
and prev
fields, it holds a field named both
, which is an XOR of the next node and the previous node. Implement an XOR linked list; it has an add(element)
which adds the element to the end, and a get(index)
which returns the node at index.
If using a language that has no pointers (such as Python), you can assume you have access to get_pointer
and dereference_pointer
functions that converts between nodes and memory addresses.
