C Program to Convert Doubly Linked List to Balanced BST

This C Program creates a balanced binary search tree which has same data members as the given Doubly linked list by changing the pointers internally.

Here is a source code of the C program to create a balanced binary search tree which has same data members as that of a doubly linked list. The C program is successfully compiled and run on a Linux system. The program output is also shown below.
