Arrange consonants and vowels nodes in a linked list | C # program to arrange consonants and vowels nodes in a linked list ; A linked list node ; Function to add new node to the List ; utility function to print linked list ; utility function for checking vowel ; function to arrange consonants and vowels nodes ; for keep track of vowel ; list is empty ; We need to discover the first vowel in the list . It is going to be the returned head , and also the initial latestVowel . ; first element is a vowel . It will also be the new head and the initial latestVowel ; ; First element is not a vowel . Iterate through the list until we find a vowel . Note that curr points to the element * before * the element with the vowel . ; This is an edge case where there are only consonants in the list . ; Set the initial latestVowel and the new head to the vowel item that we found . Relink the chain of consonants after that vowel item : old_head_consonant -> consonant1 -> consonant2 -> vowel -> rest_of_list becomes vowel -> old_head_consonant -> consonant1 -> consonant2 -> rest_of_list ; Now traverse the list . Curr is always the item * before * the one we are checking , so that we can use it to re - link . ; The next discovered item is a vowel ; If it comes directly after the previous vowel , we don 't need to  move items around, just mark the  new latestVowel and advance curr. ; But if it comes after an intervening chain of consonants , we need to chain the newly discovered vowel right after the old vowel . Curr is not changed as after the re - linking it will have a new next , that has not been checked yet , and we always keep curr at one before the next to check . ; Chain in new vowel ; Advance latestVowel ; Remove found vowel from previous place ; Re - link chain of consonants after latestVowel ; No vowel in the next element , advance curr . ; Driver code
