    I have a program for reversing a single linked list

    node *rev( node *head ) {
  node *next;
  node *curr = head;
  node *prev = NULL;
  while (curr != NULL) {
    next      = curr->next;
    curr->next = prev;
    prev      = curr;
    curr      = next;
    }
  return prev;
  }
    I have used 3 pointers here *next, *curr and *prev.
    Can somebody help me in performing this task using just 2 pointers?

    I thought surely there must be a way. But I couldn't think of one.

    However, you can easily do it with only two declared pointer and use your argument as the third pointer. (I renamed "node" to "temp" to reduce confusion with the field name.)
    node *rev(node *head)
{
    node *temp;
    node *prev = NULL;
    while (head != NULL)
    {
        temp = head->next;
        head->next = prev;
        prev = head;
        head = temp;
    }
    return prev;
}
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
