Solution: Swapping Nodes in a Linked List
Explore techniques for swapping the kth node from the start with the kth node from the end in a linked list. Learn one-pass, two-pass, and three-pass methods to perform in-place swaps efficiently, understanding pointer manipulation and time-space tradeoffs.
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 node from the beginning and the node from the end of the linked list.
Note: We’ll number the nodes of the linked list starting from to .
Constraints:
- The linked list will have
nnumber of nodes. -
kn -
Node.value
