Solution: Swapping Nodes in a Linked List

Explore how to swap nodes in a linked list at the kth position from the start and end using various methods. Understand three-pass, two-pass, and optimized one-pass approaches, their implementations, and learn to achieve this with O(n) time and O(1) space complexity.

Statement

Given the head of a linked list and an integer, k, return the head of the linked list after swapping the values of the kthk^{th} node from the beginning and the kthk^{th} node from the end of the linked list.

Note: We’ll number the nodes of the linked list starting from 11 to nn.

Constraints:

  • The linked list will have n number of nodes.
  • 11 \leq k \leq n 500\leq 500
  • 5000-5000 \leq Node.Value 5000\leq 5000

Solution

Swapping the kth ...
