Code Doubly linked list

Convert a doubly linked list into spiral form in c

C program for Convert a doubly linked list into spiral form. Here problem description and explanation.

// Include header file
#include <stdio.h>

Output

Before spiral conversion :
Linked List Head to Tail : 1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8
Linked List Tail to Head : 8  7  6  5  4  3  2  1
After spiral conversion :
Linked List Head to Tail : 1  8  2  7  3  6  4  5
Linked List Tail to Head : 5  4  6  3  7  2  8  1
