If you mean merging two sorted list, that would be like this:
to= empty
WHILE NOT empty(a) OR NOT empty(b) DO
IF empty(b) OR first(a)<first(b) THEN
append(to, first(a))
a:= next(a)
ELSE IF empty (a) OR first(a)>first(b) THEN
append(to, first(b))
b:= next(b)
ELSE IF first(a)=first(b) THEN
append(to, first(a))
append(to, first(b)) # if you want duplicates in the output
a:= next(a)
b:= next(b)
END IF
END WHILE

To efficiently sort a doubly linked list, you can use a sorting algorithm such as merge sort or quicksort. These algorithms can be implemented to work with doubly linked lists by considering the pointers in both directions. By recursively dividing the list and merging or partitioning the elements, you can achieve an efficient sorting process.
All lists are linked lists; there is no such thing as a separate "sorted list". There are algorithms that can sort a list, of course, but they all work on linked lists.
There is no such thing. There are binary trees and linked lists.
Merging data when sorting (which occurs with mergesort, quicksort, and others) is based on the idea that merging two sorted lists is faster than merging two unsorted lists. This makes sense - it will take less comparisons to merge {1 3 5} and {2 4 6} than {3 1 5} and {6 4 2}.

In linked list, there are various operations in linked list that you can perform on linked list, eg: adding new elements, deleting elements, getting the first element, getting the next element after an element, any many others.

One efficient algorithm to merge k sorted lists in O(n log k) time complexity is the "Merge with Divide and Conquer" approach. This algorithm involves recursively dividing the k lists into two halves, merging them individually, and then merging the resulting halves until all lists are merged. This approach ensures a time complexity of O(n log k) by utilizing the divide and conquer strategy to efficiently merge the sorted lists.
A linked list is used in computer science to store data as a series of related nodes. Linked lists are used as the basis for abstract data types when programming. The chief advantage of a linked list is that data can be added or removed from the list without having to reorganize the whole list. A drawback to linked lists can be that it is difficult to sort, organize, or recall specific information from the list.
Linked lists are not ideally suited to the quicksort algorithm because linked lists do not provide constant-time random access. The most efficient means of implementing quicksort upon a list is to move all the elements to an array, sort the array using quicksort, then move the elements back into a list. This increases the complexity by O(n*2), which is costly, but is more than compensated for by the improved efficiency of sorting an array.
unsigned long nfact(int n) if (n==2) return n else return n*nfact(n-1); For 32-bit integers, this program will fail at N==13, due to overflow. For 64-bit integers, it will fail at N==21. A solution for this is an arbitrary decimal arithmetic library, perhaps based on linked lists.
