Solution: Reverse Nodes in k-Group

Explore how to reverse nodes of a linked list in groups of k using an optimized in-place approach. Understand how to detect groups, reverse them without extra memory, and reattach segments efficiently. This lesson guides you through techniques to solve the problem with O(n) time and constant space, building practical skills for linked list manipulation in coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement
Solution
- Naive approach
- Optimized approach using in-place manipulation of a linked list

Statement

The task is to reverse the nodes in groups of $k$ in a given linked list, where $k$ is a positive integer, and at most the length of the linked list. If any remaining nodes are not part of a group of $k$ , they should remain in their original order.

It is not allowed to change the values of the nodes in the linked list. Only the order of the nodes can be modified.

Note: Use only $O(1)$ extra memory space.

Constraints:

Let n be the number of nodes in a linked list.

$1 \leq$ k $\leq$ n $\leq 500$
