92. Reverse Linked List II

Problem:

Reverse a linked list from position m to n. Do it in one-pass.

Note:1 ≤ m ≤ n ≤ length of list.

Example:

Input: 1->2->3->4->5->NULL, m = 2, n = 4
Output: 1->4->3->2->5->NULL

Solution:

Break the list into 3 parts.

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * function ListNode(val) {
 *     this.val = val;
 *     this.next = null;
 * }
 */
/**
 * @param {ListNode} head
 * @param {number} m
 * @param {number} n
 * @return {ListNode}
 */
var reverseBetween = function(head, m, n) {
  if (m === n) { return head }

  const prehead = { next: head }
  n = n - m

  let l1tail = prehead
  while (--m > 0) {
    l1tail = l1tail.next
  }

  let l2prehead = l1tail
  let l2head = l2prehead.next
  let l2tail = l2head
  while (n-- > 0) {
    const next = l2head.next
    l2head.next = l2prehead
    l2prehead = l2head
    l2head = next
  }

  l2tail.next = l2head.next // l3head
  l2head.next = l2prehead
  l1tail.next = l2head

  return prehead.next
};
