50. Construct and Print Three-Node Linked List

Easy

Problem Description

Given three integers AA, BB, and CC, construct a singly linked list with three nodes containing these values and print them formatted as A -> B -> C -> NULL.

Input Format

A single line containing three space-separated integers AA, BB, and CC.

Output Format

Print A -> B -> C -> NULL.

Example 1:
Input:
1 2 3
Output:
1 -> 2 -> 3 -> NULL
Explanation: Nodes 1, 2, 3 linked sequentially.
Example 2:
Input:
10 20 30
Output:
10 -> 20 -> 30 -> NULL
Explanation: List of multiples of 10.
Example 3:
Input:
-5 0 5
Output:
-5 -> 0 -> 5 -> NULL
Explanation: Negative and zero values.
Constraints:
  • Standard integer bounds: 32-bit signed integer or input range [1, 10^5].
  • Time complexity target: O(N) or O(N log N) where applicable.
  • Auxiliary space target: O(1) or minimal auxiliary memory.
Follow up:Can this algorithm be adapted to an online streaming setting where the entire input cannot be held in memory simultaneously?
