Problem Statement
This challenge is part of a tutorial track by MyCodeSchool and is accompanied by a video lesson.
You’re given the pointer to the head node of a linked list. Change the next
pointers of the nodes so that their order is reversed. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty.
Input Format
You have to complete the Node* Reverse(Node* head)
method which takes one argument – the head of the linked list. You should NOT read any input from stdin/console.
Output Format
Change the next
pointers of the nodes that their order is reversed and return
the head of the reversed linked list. Do NOT print anything to stdout/console.
Sample Input
NULL
2 –> 3 –> NULL
Sample Output
NULL
3 --> 2 --> NULL
Explanation
1. Empty list remains empty
2. List is reversed from 2,3 to 3,2
Solution
/*
Reverse a linked list and return pointer to the head
The input list will have at least one element
Node is defined as
struct Node
{
int data;
struct Node *next;
}
*/
Node* Reverse(Node *head)
{
// Complete this method
Node *prev,*current,*forward;
current=head;
prev=NULL;
while(current!=NULL){
forward=current->next;
current->next=prev;
prev=current;
current=forward;
}
head=prev;
return head;
}
