Re: [algogeeks] Double Linked List Represented With Single Linked List

Krishna,
  how can you store a address pointing to k bits value into k/2 bits? XOR
is the way to do this.

 Just traverse the doubly linked list and keep track of next and previous
 of each node, and do XOR and save the result in a new pointer, what
 according to you is np.
 Be careful about boundary cases, i.e head and tail, though.
