For the 2nd ques, wat i think is the interviewer has kept the restriction of not moving the data since you may have a linked list about which you donot have much information about the structure of the node of the list(only know about the next pointer) and hence you cannot move the data. For that, you can free the middle node and copy the last node bit by bit at the location of the middle node.
If you still dont want to use the method above, you will have to free the middle node and reallocate the next node at the location of the middle node. For this wat i could think was to use the realloc() and put it in a while loop and terminate the loop only when the address returned matches with the address possesed by the middle node. But this method is not efficient and also unwise.
