Grokking the Coding Interview Patterns

Solution: Rotate List

Explore how to rotate a singly linked list to the right by k positions through a single traversal approach. Understand how to find the list length, convert it into a circular list, and identify the new head by breaking the cycle. This lesson enables you to implement a space-efficient linked list rotation method suitable for coding interviews.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

You are given the head of a singly linked list and a non-negative integer k. Your task is to rotate the list to the right by k positions.

A right rotation by 1 means the last node becomes the new head, and every other node shifts one position to the right.

Return the head of the rotated linked list.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [0, ...
