Reversing a singly linked list iteratively

Question

Has to be O(n) and in-place (space complexity of 1). The code below does work, but is there a simpler or better way?

public void invert() {
    if (this.getH         


        

Answer 1

Modifying the Node Class

u can override toString method in Node class to input any data

public class Node { public Node node; private int data; Node(int data) { this.data = data; } @Override public String toString() { return this.data+""; }

Answer 2

How about this:

public void invert() {
    if (head != null) {
        for (Node<E> tail = head.getNext(); tail != null; ) {
            Node<E> nextTail = tail.getNext();
            tail.setNext(head);
            head = tail;
            tail = nextTail;
        }
    }
}

Answer 3

Works with this implementation of LinkedList: https://stackoverflow.com/a/25311/234307

public void reverse() {

    Link previous = first;
    Link currentLink = first.nextLink;
    first.nextLink = null;

    while(currentLink != null) {        

        Link realNextLink = currentLink.nextLink;
        currentLink.nextLink = previous;                        
        previous = currentLink; 
        first = currentLink;    
        currentLink = realNextLink;

    }

}

Answer 4

public void reverse(){

    Node middle = head;
    Node last = head;
    Node first = null;

    while(last != null){

        middle = last;
        last = last.next;
        middle.next = first;
        first = middle;
    }

    head = middle;
}

Answer 5

Using a self-contained implementation, i.e. the List is represented by the head Node:

public class Node<E>
{
    Node<E> next;
    E value;

    public Node(E value, Node<E> next)
    {
        this.value = value;
        this.next = next;
    }

    public Node<E> reverse()
    {
        Node<E> head = null;
        Node<E> current = this;
        while (current != null) {
            Node<E> save = current;
            current = current.next;
            save.next = head;
            head = save;
        }
        return head;
    }
}

Answer 6

public void invert() {  
  if (first == null) return;  
  Node<E> prev = null;  
  for ( Node<E> next = first.next; next != null; next = first.next) {  
    first.next = prev;  
    prev = first;  
    first = next;  
  }  
  first.next = prev;  
}
