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.Follow up:
- Could you solve the problem in
O(1)
extra memory space?- You may not alter the values in the list’s nodes, only nodes itself may be changed.
Example:
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]
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5], k = 1
Output: [1,2,3,4,5]
Input: head = [1], k = 1
Output: [1]
