write an algorithm to insert a node in the linked list

 write an algorithm to insert a node in the linked list?

• Start by creating a new node with the given data value.
• Check if the linked list is empty, and if so, make the new node the head of the list.
• If the linked list is not empty, traverse the list to find the position where you want to insert the new node. You can do this by starting at the head of the list and iterating through each node until you reach the desired position or the end of the list.
• Once you've found the position to insert the new node, adjust the pointers of the nodes accordingly:
• Set the new node's next pointer to the node currently at the desired position.
• If the desired position is not the head of the list, set the next pointer of the previous node to the new node.
• If the desired position is the head of the list, make the new node the new head of the list.
• Return the updated linked list.

Here's the pseudocode for this algorithm:

function insertNode(head, data, position):

newNode = Node(data) // Create a new node with the given data

if position == 0: // If the position is the head of the list

newNode.next = head // Set the new node's next pointer to the current head

return newNode // Make the new node the new head of the list

current = head

previous = None

count = 0

while current != None and count < position: // Traverse the list to find the position

previous = current

current = current.next

count += 1

newNode.next = current // Set the new node's next pointer to the node at the desired position

previous.next = newNode // Set the previous node's next pointer to the new node

return head // Return the updated linked list

Note that this algorithm assumes that the linked list is 0-indexed, meaning that the first node is at position 0. If your linked list is 1-indexed, you'll need to adjust the algorithm accordingly.
