/** Author : Suraj Kumar

/** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION :
* There is a single linked list and we are supposed to find a random node in the given linked list
*/

/** ALGORITHM :
* Step 1 : START
* Step 2 : Create an arraylist of type integer
* Step 3 : Declare an integer type variable for size and linked list type for head
* Step 4 : We will use two methods, one for traversing through the linked list using while loop and also increase the size by 1
*
* (a) Algorithms_random_node(head)
* (b) run a while loop till null;
* (c) add the value to arraylist;
* (d) increase the size;
*
* Step 5 : Now use another method for getting random values using Math.random() and return the value present in arraylist for the calculated index
* Step 6 : Now in main() method we will simply insert nodes in the linked list and then call the appropriate method and then print the random node generated
* Step 7 : STOP

//Now using while loop to traverse through the linked list and
//go on adding values and increasing the size value by 1

while (temp != null) {
list.add(temp.val);
temp=temp.next;
size++;
}
}

int index = (int)(Math.random()*size);
return list.get(index);
}

// Driver program to test above functions
public static void main(String[] args) {


head = new ListNode(15);
head.next = new ListNode(25);
head.next.next = new ListNode(4);
head.next.next.next = new ListNode(1);
head.next.next.next.next = new ListNode(78);
head.next.next.next.next.next = new ListNode(63);
Algorithms_random_node list = new Algorithms_random_node(head);

int random_num = list.getRandom();
System.out.println("Random Node : "+random_num);
}

/** OUTPUT :
* First output :
* Random Node : 25
* Second output :
* Random Node : 78
