Problem: Reverse Nodes In Even Length Groups

Medium
30 min
Explore how to reverse nodes in even-length groups within a linked list by manipulating the list in-place for optimized memory use. Understand the grouping based on natural number sequences and practice implementing this technique to strengthen your linked list problem-solving skills.

Statement

Given the head of a linked list, the nodes in it are assigned to each group in a sequential manner. The length of these groups follows the sequence of natural numbers. Natural numbers are positive whole numbers denoted by (1,2,3,4...)(1,2,3,4...).

In other words:

  • The 1st1^{st} node is assigned to the first group.

  • The 2nd2^{nd} and 3rd3^{rd} nodes are assigned to the second group.

  • The 4th4^{th}, 5th5^{th}, and 6th6^{th} nodes are assigned to the third group, and so on.

Your task is to reverse the nodes in each group with an even number of nodes and return the head of the modified linked list.

Note: The length of the last group may be less than or equal to 1 + the length of the second to the last group.

Constraints:

  • 1 \leq Number of nodes \leq 500
  • 0 \leq Node.value \leq 10310^{3}
