思路：3步走。

1.设置fast和slow指针，使得fast遍历列表后，slow位于列表中偏右部。

2.反转slow侧的列表。

3.将fast指向head，依次比较slow侧的列表和fast侧列表每个元素的值。

 

代码：上述1和2的2个操作还是比较经典的。

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public boolean isPalindrome(ListNode head) {
        ListNode fast = head, slow = head;
//        每1次fast都比slow多走1个单位直到fast不能再1次走2步为止
        while(fast != null && fast.next != null) {
            slow = slow.next;
            fast = fast.next.next;
        }
        if(fast != null) {//有奇数个node，设置slow侧的node数量少于fast侧的node数量
            slow = slow.next;
        }
        slow = reverse(slow);//slow侧列表反转
        fast = head;
        while(slow != null && slow.val == fast.val) {
            slow = slow.next;
            fast = fast.next;
        }
        return slow == null;
    }
    
    //列表反转
    public ListNode reverse(ListNode head) {
        ListNode prev = null;
        while(head != null) {
            ListNode next = head.next;
            head.next = prev;
            prev = head;
            head = next;
        }
        return prev;
    }
}
