Reverse Nodes in k-Group in C++
Suppose we have a linked list, we have to reverse the nodes of the linked list k at a time and return its modified list. Here k is a positive integer and is less than or equal to the length of the linked list. So if the number of nodes is not a multiple of k then left-out nodes, in the end, should remain as it is.
So if the linked list is like [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] and k is 3, then the result will be [3,2,1,6,5,4,7].
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
Define a method called solve(), this will take the head of the linked list, take partCount and k
if partCount is 0, then return head
newHead := head, prev := null, x := k
while newHead is not null and x is not 0
temp := next of newHead, next of nextHead := prev
prev := newHead, newHead := temp
next of head := solve(newHead, partCount – 1, k)
return prev
From the main method do the following −
return solve(head of the linked list, length of list / k, k)
Example
Let us see the following implementation to get a better understanding −
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; void print_vector(vector<auto> v){ cout << "["; for(int i = 0; i<v.size(); i++){ cout << v[i] << ", "; } cout << "]"<<endl; } void print_vector(vector<vector<auto>> v){ cout << "["; for(int i = 0; i<v.size(); i++){ cout << "["; for(int j = 0; j <v[i].size(); j++){ cout << v[i][j] << ", "; } cout << "],"; } cout << "]"<<endl; } class ListNode{ public: int val; ListNode *next; ListNode(int data){ val = data; next = NULL; } }; ListNode *make_list(vector<int> v){ ListNode *head = new ListNode(v[0]); for(int i = 1; i<v.size(); i++){ ListNode *ptr = head; while(ptr->next != NULL){ ptr = ptr->next; } ptr->next = new ListNode(v[i]); } return head; } void print_list(ListNode *head){ ListNode *ptr = head; cout << "["; while(ptr){ cout << ptr->val << ", "; ptr = ptr->next; } cout << "]" << endl; } class Solution { public: ListNode* solve(ListNode* head, int partitionCount, int k){ if(partitionCount == 0)return head; ListNode *newHead = head; ListNode* prev = NULL; ListNode* temp; int x = k; while(newHead && x--){ temp = newHead->next; newHead->next = prev; prev = newHead; newHead = temp; } head->next = solve(newHead, partitionCount - 1, k); return prev; } int calcLength(ListNode* head){ int len = 0; ListNode* curr = head; while(curr){ len++; curr = curr->next; } return len; } ListNode* reverseKGroup(ListNode* head, int k) { int length = calcLength(head); return solve(head, length / k, k); } }; main(){ vector<int> v = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7}; ListNode *head = make_list(v); Solution ob; print_list(ob.reverseKGroup(head, 3)); }
