1-2-3-4-5-6 into 1-2-3-6-5-4 or 1-2-3-4-5 into 1-2-5-4-3
I took advantage of reversing a linkedlist.
I provided main func and prinf func.
package testAndfun;
public class reverseHalfLinkedList {
public static void main(String[] args){
reverseHalfLinkedList rh =new reverseHalfLinkedList();
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;
prinf(n1);
prinf(rh.reorder(n1));
}
//loop to len/2 point, and take advantage of reverse() the len-len/2 part
public Node reorder(Node head){
if(head==null||head.next==null)
return head;
int len = 0;
Node l = head;
while(l!=null){
len++;
l= l.next;
}
l = head;
int half = len/2;
while(half>1){
l = l.next;
half--;
}
//the rest part reverse
l.next = reverseList(l.next);
return head;
}
//take advantage of reversing linkedlist
public Node reverseList(Node head) {
if(head==null||head.next==null)
return head;
Node second = head.next;
head.next=null;
Node rest = reverseList(second);
second.next = head;
return rest;
}
private static void prinf(Node h){
while(h!=null){
System.out.print(h.val+"->");
h = h.next;
}
System.out.println();
}
static class Node{
int val;
Node next;
Node(int x){
this.val = x;
}
}
}
