PairwiseSwap.c

/* 
Code Description:
A linked list is a linear data structure, in which the elements are not stored at contiguous memory locations.
Through this C program ,we pairwise swap elements in a given linked list.
Following is the implementation of the same that swaps adjacent nodes pairwise and changes links instead of swapping data.
