Solution: Swapping Nodes in a Linked List
Explore methods for swapping kth nodes from the beginning and end in a singly linked list. Learn three approaches—three-pass, two-pass, and one-pass—to perform in-place value swaps efficiently. Understand how to optimize traversals to achieve O(n) time complexity and O(1) space complexity. This lesson helps you master common in-place linked list manipulations useful in coding interviews.
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
Solution
Swapping the
