Problem: Odd Even Linked List

Medium
30 min
Understand how to efficiently rearrange a singly linked list so that nodes at odd indexes come first followed by even indexes. This lesson teaches in-place manipulation techniques with constant extra space and linear time to maintain original order within odd and even groups.

Statement

Given the head of a singly linked list, rearrange the nodes so that all nodes at odd indexes appear first, followed by all nodes at even indexes.

  • The first node in the list is considered at odd index 1, the second at even index 2, and so on.

  • Within the odd group and the even group, the relative order of the nodes must remain the same as in the original list.

Return the head of the reordered linked list.

Note: You must solve the problem in O(1)O(1) extra space complexity and O(n)O(n) time complexity.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the linked list is in the range [0,103][0, 10^3].

  • 103-10^3 \leq Node.val 103\leq 10^3
