Middle of the Linked List

easy

Given the head of a singly linked list, return the middle node of the linked list.

If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node.

Example 1

Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [3,4,5]
Explanation: The middle node of the list is node 3.

Example 2

Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: [4,5,6]
Explanation: Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one.

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [1, 100].
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 100

How the tests work: lists are written as arrays — [1,2,3] is the chain 1 → 2 → 3. Your function receives real ListNode objects, and the list you return is read back into an array.
