Reverse Nodes in k-Group

Given a linked list, reverse the nodes of a linked list k at a time and return its modified list.

If the number of nodes is not a multiple of k then left-out nodes in the end should remain as it is.

You may not alter the values in the nodes, only nodes itself may be changed.

Only constant memory is allowed.

For example,
Given this linked list: 1->2->3->4->5

For k = 2, you should return: 2->1->4->3->5

For k = 3, you should return: 3->2->1->4->5

Code

public ListNode reverseKGroup(ListNode head, int k) {
    ListNode curr = head;
    int count = 0;
    while (curr != null && count != k) { // find the k+1 node
        curr = curr.next;
        count++;
    }
    if (count == k) { // if k+1 node is found
        curr = reverseKGroup(curr, k); // reverse list with k+1 node as head
        // head - head-pointer to direct part, 
        // curr - head-pointer to reversed part;
        while (count-- > 0) { // reverse current k-group: 
            ListNode tmp = head.next; // tmp - next head in direct part
            head.next = curr; // preappending "direct" head to the reversed list 
            curr = head; // move head of reversed part to a new node
            head = tmp; // move "direct" head to the next node in direct part
        }
        head = curr;
    }
    return head;
}

Note

  • 注意while一定要用count数的方式。开始用了错误的code: while(head!=null),导致死循环!
