* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION :
* There is a single linked list and we are supposed to find a random node in the given linked list
* <p>
* ALGORITHM :
* Step 1 : START
* Step 2 : Create an arraylist of type integer
* Step 3 : Declare an integer type variable for size and linked list type for head
* Step 4 : We will use two methods, one for traversing through the linked list using while loop and
* also increase the size by 1
* <p>
* (a) RandomNode(head)
* (b) run a while loop till null;
* (c) add the value to arraylist;
* (d) increase the size;
* <p>
* Step 5 : Now use another method for getting random values using Math.random() and return the
* value present in arraylist for the calculated index Step 6 : Now in main() method we will simply
* insert nodes in the linked list and then call the appropriate method and then print the random
* node generated Step 7 : STOP
