Convert a doubly linked list into spiral form in ruby

Ruby program for Convert a doubly linked list into spiral form. Here problem description and other solutions.

#  Ruby program for
#  Convert a doubly linked list spiral form
class LinkNode 
	# Define the accessor and reader of class LinkNode
	attr_reader :data, :next, :prev
	attr_accessor :data, :next, :prev
	def initialize(data) 
		self.data = data
		self.next = nil
		self.prev = nil

	end

	#  Insert new node at end position

		#                     [1,5,2,4] result
		#              3      [Get corner nodes]  
		#                     In this case only one
		#                     [1,5,2,4,3] result
		#  ------------------------------------
		#  Process using head and tail node
		while (current != nil && self.tail != nil)

	dll.display()
	dll.spiral()
	print("\nAfter spiral conversion :\n")
	dll.display()
end

main()

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
