LeetCode Solutions : Reorder List

Given a singly linked list L: L0→L1→…→Ln-1→Ln,

reorder it to: L0→Ln→L1→Ln-1→L2→Ln-2→…

You must do this in-place without altering the nodes‘ values.

For example,

Given {1,2,3,4}, reorder itto {1,4,2,3}.

Considering the following steps:

 * 1. split such list into two list, first and second, according to slow and fast point

* 3. insert the second list into the first list

coding solution:

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) {
 *         val = x;
 *         next = null;
 *     }
 * }
 *

			while(fast.next!=null&&fast.next.next!=null){
				low=low.next;
				fast=fast.next.next;
			}
			ListNode first=head;
			ListNode second=low.next;
			low.next=null;

		    second=reverse(second);//2. reverse the second list
			while(second!=null){//3. insert the second list into the first list
				ListNode p1=first.next;
				ListNode p2=second.next;
				first.next=second;
				second.next=p1;
				first=p1;
				second=p2;
			}
