Question

The following function reverse() is supposed to reverse a singly linked list. There is one line missing at the end of the function. ``` /* Link list node */ struct node l int data: struct node* next, $$\$7 $$ /* head_ref is a double pointer which points to head {or start} pointer of linked list */ static void reverse{struct node** head_ref} i struct node* prev = NULL? struct node* current = *head_reff struct node* next, while (current != NULL) l next = current->next? current->next = prevy prev = current; current = next; l /* predict the statement here */ 1 ``` What needs to be added instead of "/ $/$ predict the statement here $* / "$, so that the function correctly reverses a linked list. A. *head_ref=prev; B. *head_ref = current; C. *head_ref=next; D. * head_ref=NULL;

struct node* prev = NULL?
struct node* current = *head_reff
struct node* next,
while (current != NULL)

current->next = prevy
prev = current;
current = next;

What needs to be added instead of "/ $/$ predict the statement here $* / "$, so that the function correctly reverses a linked list.
A. *head_ref=prev;
B. *head_ref = current;
C. *head_ref=next;
D. * head_ref=NULL;

Step 1

It's meant to reverse a singly linked list, changing the direction of all the pointers so that the last node becomes the first and the first becomes the last. Step 2: Let's trace through the function to understand its logic: - `prev` starts as NULL (will  Show more…
