Question

The following C function takes a single-linked list of integers as a parameter and rearranges the elements of the list. The function is called with the list containing the integers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 in the given order. What will be the contents of the list after the function completes execution?

struct node
{
  int value;
  struct node *next;
};
void rearrange(struct node *list)
{
  struct node *p, * q;
  int temp;
  if ((!list) || !list->next)
      return;
  p = list;
  q = list->next;
  while(q)
  {
     temp = p->value;
     p->value = q->value;
     q->value = temp;
     p = q->next;
     q = p?p->next:0;
  }
}

Q. Let S be a stack of size n >= 1. Starting with the empty stack, suppose we push the first n natural numbers in sequence, and then perform n pop operations.
