Program to remove duplicate elements from the sorted linked list

-
Iam going to give just the function of above program but not the whole program.The function is explained at each line using comment line.

void removeduplicates(struct node* head)
{
struct node* curr=head;                         // Make head as current node
struct node node_next_to_next;
if(curr==NULL)
return;
while(curr->next!=NULL)                     //Iterate up to the end of the linked list
{
if(curr->data==curr->next->data)         // compare the data of node to its next node in the linked list
{
node_next_to_next=curr->next->next;  // if its equal then make next_to_next node as curr->next->next
free(curr->next);                                   // and delete the curr->next node
curr->next=node_next_to_next;            // Now make curr->next node as node_next_to_next.
}                                                          // Thus removing the duplicate element.
else
curr=curr->next;                                   // If its not equal just make curr as curr->next
}
}

Input: 

4->12->12->13->14->14->16

Output:

4->12->13->14->16

So the inner printf("%s","ILOVECPROGRAM") writes 13 characters to the output so the outer printf function will print 13 and as 13 is of 2 characters so the next outer printf function will print 2 and then

Number series arrangement puzzles

-
In this post I am going to give the number series arrangement puzzles in which you have to find the next element or missing element in the series of numbers given. These questions are an important part of any technical interviews where interviewer wants to check how fast you can think and deduce connections between numbers. 1. What is the next number in the series? 27  101  91 82 18 17 __ 2. What is the next number in the series? 83  99   1027    1181    12243  __ 3. What is the missing number in the series? 132   3134    5236    7338   __   115312 4. What is the missing numbers in the series? 31 34 __ 37 37 __ 40 40 40 __ 40 40 40 5. What is the next number in the series? 58   1024   2040    4056   __ Click  here  for answers
