simple way of understanding this algo is that , q is incremented twice than p or you can say q is moving twice faster then p. consider a scenario where last_node-> = first_node. now q would complete 2 round of this single link before node p reaches last_node . so when p reaches last_node , at tha

Nodes of these XOR lists look like typedef struct { PTRS_AS_INT next_xor_prev; DATA data; } NODE; You need 2 pointers to adjacent nodes to traverse. If p and q are these pointers, then to advance to the next node, tmp = p; p = q ^ p->next_xor_prev; // not correct C; add casts to make it wo

@ankit... I don't think the algorithm is correct... The check "max_ending_here < 0 && max_limit_here <=k" doesn't look correct... Also I am not able to figure out the importance of 0 in the check .. Ankit, may be I am wrong. Hence, can you come up with the algorithm explaining ( with a set of step
