Problem: Given a linked list, reverse the nodes of a linked list k at a time and return its modified list.
k is a positive integer and is less than or equal to the length of the linked list. If the number of nodes is not a multiple of k then left-out nodes in the end should remain as it is.
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5], k = 2 Output: [2,1,4,3,5]
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5], k = 3 Output: [3,2,1,4,5]
Approach: Same as Reverse a Linked List in groups of given size except we need to check if the remaining length is sufficient or not.
Implementation in C#:
public ListNode ReverseKGroup(ListNode head, int k)
{
if (!this.IsSuffLength(head, k))
{
return head;
}
ListNode prev = null, next = null, curr = head;
int count = 0;
while (count < k)
{
next = curr.next;
curr.next = prev;
prev = curr;
curr = next;
++count;
}
if (next != null)
{
head.next = this.ReverseKGroup(next, k);
}
return prev;
}
private bool IsSuffLength(ListNode node, int k)
{
int i = 0;
for (; node != null && i < k; ++i)
{
node = node.next;
}
if (i != k)
{
return false;
}
return true;
}
Complexity: O(n)
