Reverse Nodes in k-Group Java

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) {
 *         val = x;
 *         next = null;
 *     }
 * }
 */
 /*Key to solve:
	 * This is one kind of extended question from reverse linked list, and different with swapPairs question,
	 * since we are required to reverse in K group, k base on user input
	 * Approach:
	 * 1. locate beginPrev and endNext node of each group, in total k group
	 * 2. using a dummy node 0 for reverse 
	 * 0->1->2->3->4->5->null
     * |           |   
  * beginPrev    endNext
 * after call beginPrev = reverse(beginPrev, endNext)
     * 0->3->2->1 -> 4->5->null
     *          |    |
     *   beginPrev endNext
	 * if the number of left-out nodes is a multiple of k, then update the endNext, then call reverse function again 
	 * until the left-out nodes less than k, remain same.
	 * the difficult is to divide a single list into k group and reverse individually, and locate the beginPrev node each time
