328. Odd Even Linked List

Tags: ‘Linked List’

Given a singly linked list, group all odd nodes together followed by the even nodes. Please note here we are talking about the node number and not the value in the nodes.

You should try to do it in place. The program should run in O(1) space complexity and O(nodes) time complexity.

Example 1:

Input: 1->2->3->4->5->NULL
Output: 1->3->5->2->4->NULL

Example 2:

Input: 2->1->3->5->6->4->7->NULL
Output: 2->3->6->7->1->5->4->NULL

Note:

  • The relative order inside both the even and odd groups should remain as it was in the input.
  • The first node is considered odd, the second node even and so on ...

Solution 1

Common error for Linked List problems(memory limit exceeded): After rearrange nodes, remember to end the list with NULL O(n) time O(1) space 100% 100%

public ListNode oddEvenList(ListNode head) {
    if (head == null || head.next == null) return head;
    
    ListNode d1 = new ListNode(-1);
    ListNode d2 = new ListNode(-1);
    ListNode c1 = d1, c2 = d2;
    
    int l = 0;
    while (head != null) {
        l++;
        if (l % 2 == 0) {
            c2.next = head;
            c2 = c2.next;
        } else {
            c1.next = head;
            c1 = c1.next;
        }
        head = head.next;
    }
    
    c1.next = d2.next;
    c2.next = null; // !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    return d1.next;
}
