Solution: Split Linked List in Parts

Explore how to split a singly linked list into k consecutive parts while maintaining order and ensuring the size difference between parts is at most one node. Learn to calculate part sizes, traverse, and disconnect nodes efficiently for in-place manipulation. This lesson helps you understand how to handle linked lists in coding interviews involving node reordering and splitting tasks.

Statement

You are given head of a singly linked list and an integer, k. Your task is to split the linked list into k consecutive parts.

  • Each part should have a size as equal as possible, with the difference between any two parts being at most 11.

  • If the list cannot be evenly divided, the earlier parts should have more nodes than the later ones.

  • Any parts that cannot be filled with nodes should be represented as NULL.

  • The parts must appear in the same order as in the input-linked list.

Return an array of the k parts, maintaining the specified conditions.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [0,103][0, 10^{3}] ...
