Interview Question for Financial Software Developer Intern at Bloomberg L.P.:
Mar 13, 2013

Linked list memory management: deleting a node from the middle of a list was easy. Next question - how to delete a node from the end of a list. Was too tired to think and realize this was a trick question.

Instead of 1 use 2 pointers, having pointer 1 one step ahead of pointer 2, once pointer 1 points to NULL, use pointer 2 to remove the last node.
