/ C program to find middle of linked list
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>

// Link list node
struct Node
{
int data;
struct Node* next;
};

// Function to get the middle of
// the linked list
void printMiddle(struct Node *head)
{
struct Node *slow_ptr = head;
struct Node *fast_ptr = head;

if (head!=NULL)
{
while (fast_ptr != NULL &&
fast_ptr->next != NULL)
{
fast_ptr = fast_ptr->next->next;
slow_ptr = slow_ptr->next;
}
printf("The middle element is [%d]",
slow_ptr->data);
}
}

void push(struct Node** head_ref,
int new_data)
{
// Allocate node
struct Node* new_node =
(struct Node*) malloc(sizeof(struct Node));

// Put in the data
new_node->data = new_data;

// Link the old list off the new node
new_node->next = (*head_ref);

// Move the head to point to the new node
(*head_ref) = new_node;
}

// A utility function to print a given
// linked list
void printList(struct Node *ptr)
{
while (ptr != NULL)
{
printf("%d->", ptr->data);
ptr = ptr->next;
}
printf("NULL");
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
// Start with the empty list
struct Node* head = NULL;
int i;

for (i = 5; i > 0; i--)
{
push(&head, i);
printList(head);
printMiddle(head);
}
return 0;
}
Output:

5->NULL
The middle element is [5]
