C语言刷题 LeetCode 30天挑战 （八）快慢指针法

//Middle of the Linked List
//Given a non-empty, singly linked list with head node head , 
//return a middle node of linked list.
//If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node

//Example 1:
//Input:1,2,3,4,5]
//0utput:Node 3from this list(Serialization:[3,4,5])
//The returned node has value 3, (The judge's serialization of this node is [3,4,5]).
//Note that we returned a ListNode object ans, such that:
//ans,val =3,ans.next,val =4,ans.next,next.val = 5, and ans.next.next.next = NULL.
//Example 2:
//Input:I[1,2,3,4,5,6]
//Output:Node 4 from this list(serialization:[4,5,6])
//Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one.
