问题:
以k个元素为一组,反转单向链表。比如:
输入: 1->2->3->4->5->6->7->8->null and k = 3
输出:3->2->1->6->5->4->8->7->null.
分析:
我们可以把整个链表分成多个长度为 k 的子链表, 然后,我们再反转每一个子链表(递归)。问题的关键是我们需要把每个子链表再连接起来。所以,对每一个子链表操作以后,我们需要返回该子链表的头(head),然后,我们设置前一个子链表的最后一个node,把它的next 设置成下一个链表返回的头(head),这样,所有的子链表就连接起来了。
- public static Node reverse (Node head, int k) {
- Node current = head;
- Node next = null;
- Node prev = null;
- int count = 0;
- /*reverse first k nodes of the linked list */
- while (current != null && count < k) {
- next = current.next;
- current.next = prev;
- prev = current;
- current = next;
- count++;
- }
- /* next is now a pointer to (k+1)th node
- Recursively call for the list starting from current.
- And make rest of the list as next of first node */
- if(next != null) {
- head.next = reverse(next, k);
- }
- /* prev is new head of the input list */
- return prev;
- }
public static Node reverse (Node head, int k) {
Node current = head;
Node next = null;
Node prev = null;
int count = 0; /*reverse first k nodes of the linked list */
while (current != null && count < k) {
next = current.next;
current.next = prev;
prev = current;
current = next;
count++;
} /* next is now a pointer to (k+1)th node
Recursively call for the list starting from current.
And make rest of the list as next of first node */
if(next != null) {
head.next = reverse(next, k);
} /* prev is new head of the input list */
return prev;
}
这个问题也可以使用非递归的方法,基本上问题的处理方式和递归是一样的,但是,非递归的方式要稍微复杂一点,因为每次对子链表反转以后,我们需要更新前一个子链表最后一个node 的next 值。代码如下:
- class Node {
- int val;
- Node next;
- Node(int x) {
- val = x;
- next = null;
- }
- }
- public class Solution {
- public static void main(String[] args) {
- Solution s = new Solution();
- Node n1 = new Node(1);
- Node n2 = new Node(2);
- Node n3 = new Node(3);
- Node n4 = new Node(4);
- Node n5 = new Node(5);
- n1.next = n2;
- n2.next = n3;
- n3.next = n4;
- n4.next = n5;
- Node head = s.ReverseInGroups(n1, 2);
- while (head != null) {
- System.out.println(head.val);
- head = head.next;
- }
- }
- public Node ReverseInGroups(Node current, int k) {
- if (current == null || current.next == null ) return current;
- //store the new head of the list
- Node newHead = null;
- //store the last node in the sub-list,
- //we will update its next value when finishing
- //reversing the next sub-list
- Node previousGroupTail = null;
- int count = 1; //used to track the first sub-list
- while (current != null) {
- // the actual tail in the sub-list
- Node groupTail = current;
- //reverse
- Node prev = null;
- Node next = null;
- for (int i = 1; i <= k && current != null; i++) {
- next = current.next;
- current.next = prev;
- prev = current;
- current = next;
- }
- // get the new head of the whole list
- if (count == 1) {
- newHead = prev;
- count++;
- }
- // update the next value of the last node in
- // each sub-list
- if (previousGroupTail != null) {
- previousGroupTail.next = prev;
- }
- previousGroupTail = groupTail;
- }
- return newHead;
- }
- }
