This function performs a basic smoothing of inlist and returns the result (outlist). Both lists have the same length, N. Each item in inlist is assumed to have type 'float', and 'h' is assumed to be an integer. For each i, outlist[i] will be the average of inlist[k] over all k that satisfy i-h <= k <= i+h and 0 <= k <= N-1.

The question was: Given a text written in some language where the alphabets are represented with 1 byte or 2 byte. But the one byte alphabets always have their MSB 1 and the 2 byte charecters always have their MSB 0. Now when at some point user presses a back space how many bytes are to be deleted to erase the alphabet?

You've a singly linked list where every node in the list has a field "random" which points to other node in the same list. Write a function to clone this list (create a new copy of the same). Don't use extra space (just the pointer variables are fine).
