Output:

Enter number of nodes for list1: 4
Enter the value: 11
Enter the value: 12
Enter the value: 13
Enter the value: 14
Contents are:
| 11 | 4986632 | => | 12 | 4994040 | => | 13 | 4994056 | => | 14 | 0 |

Enter number of nodes for list2: 3
Enter the value: 15
Enter the value: 16
Enter the value: 17
Contents are:
| 15 | 4994088 | => | 16 | 4994104 | => | 17 | 0 |

After concatenation:
Contents are:
| 11 | 4986632 | => | 12 | 4994040 | => | 13 | 4994056 | => | 14 | 4994072 | => | 15 | 4994088 | =>  | 16 | 4994104 | => | 17 | 0 |
