To add the two polynomials, we presume that the singly linked lists have their
nodes arranged in decreasing order of the exponents of the variable x.
The objective is to create a new list of nodes representing the sum P1 + P2. This
is achieved by adding the COEFF fields of the nodes of similar powers of variable x
in lists P1 and P2 and adding a new node reflecting this operation in the resultant list
P1 + P2. We present below the crux of the procedure.
Here, P1 and P2 are the starting pointers of the singly linked lists representing
polynomials P1 and P2. Additionally, PTR1 and PTR2 are two temporary pointers
initially set to P1 and P2, respectively.
