Reverse Linked List
Understand how to reverse a singly linked list efficiently by manipulating it in place. This lesson helps you master the technique of updating the list's head, work within constraints, and apply this common pattern to related linked list problems.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the linked list and return its updated head.
Constraints:
Let n be the number of nodes in a linked list.
-
n -
Node.Value

Understand the problem
Let’s take a moment to make sure you’ve correctly understood the problem. The quiz below helps you check if you’re solving the correct problem:
What is the output if the following linked list is provided as input?
4 → 2 → 7 → 8 → 9 → 0 → 2
9 → 0 → 2 → 8 → 4 → 2 → 7
7 → 2 → 4 → 8 → 2 → 0 → 9
2 → 0 → 9 → 8 → 7 → 2 → 4
0 → 2 → 2 → 4 → 8 → 9
Figure it out!
We have a game for you to play. Rearrange the logical building blocks to develop a clearer understanding of how to solve this problem.
Try it yourself
Implement your solution in the following coding playground.
// Definition for a Linked List node// type ListNode struct {// Val int// Next *ListNode// }package mainimport (. "golang-test-code/ds_v1/LinkedList")func reverse(head *ListNode) *ListNode {// Replace this placeholder return statement with your codereturn new(ListNode)}
