An XOR linked list is a memory-efficient version of a doubly linked list. Instead of storing the next and prev pointers explicitly, every node stores a value which is the XOR of the next and previous node's addresses. This allows the list to save space by using only one pointer for both next and prev.
In a regular doubly linked list, each node contains two pointers: one pointing to the next node and one pointing to the previous node. In an XOR linked list, a single field is used, which is the XOR of the addresses of the next and previous nodes.
The XOR operation can be used to derive the address of the next or previous node if the other node’s address is known.
Example:
Input: insert nodes with values 10, 20, 30, and 40 into an XOR linked list.
Output: 10 <-> 20 <-> 30 <-> 40
