Objective: Given two polynomials, represent them by two linked lists and add these lists. java
// Java program to add two numbers represented by linked list
class LinkedList {
static Node head1, head2;

int data;

}
}
/* Adds contents of two linked lists and return the head node of resultant list */

Node res = null; // res is head node of the resultant list
Node prev = null;
Node temp = null;
int carry = 0, sum;
while (first != null || second != null) //while both lists exist
{
// Calculate value of next digit in resultant list.
// The next digit is sum of following things
// (i) Carry
// (ii) Next digit of first list (if there is a next digit)
// (ii) Next digit of second list (if there is a next digit)
sum = carry + (first != null ? first.data : 0)
+ (second != null ? second.data : 0);
// update carry for next calulation
carry = (sum >= 10) ? 1 : 0;
// update sum if it is greater than 10
sum = sum % 10;
// Create a new node with sum as data
temp = new Node(sum);
// if this is the first node then set it as head of
// the resultant list
if (res == null) {
res = temp;
} else // If this is not the first node then connect it to the rest.
{
prev.next = temp;
}
// Set prev for next insertion
prev = temp;
// Move first and second pointers to next nodes
