【leetcode刷题笔记】Rotate List

Given a list, rotate the list to the right by k places, where k is non-negative.

For example:
Given 1->2->3->4->5->NULL and k = 2,
return 4->5->1->2->3->NULL.


 

题解:首先注意一点是n可以比链表的length大。例如链表1->2,n=3,那么执行3次rotate的过程如下:

第一次:2->1;

第二次:1->2;

第三次:2->1;

那么我们是不是就要模拟了呢?答案是不用,只要用n = n%length就可以在一次遍历中完成转换。

还是快慢指针的思想,fast指针比slow指针快n+1步,当fast指针到达尾部时,slow指针的next元素就是新的链表头。还需要一个tail指针作为fast指针的前驱,并在最后利用tail指针把前半段链表链接起来。

代码如下:

 1 /**
 2  * Definition for singly-linked list.
 3  * public class ListNode {
 4  *     int val;
 5  *     ListNode next;
 6  *     ListNode(int x) {
 7  *         val = x;
 8  *         next = null;
 9  *     }
10  * }
11  */
12 public class Solution {
13     private int getLength(ListNode head){
14         int answer = 0;
15         while(head != null){
16             answer++;
17             head = head.next;
18         }
19         
20         return answer;
21     }
22     
23     public ListNode rotateRight(ListNode head, int n) {
24         if(head == null || head.next == null)
25             return head;
26         
27         int length = getLength(head);
28         if(n == 0)
29             return head;
30         n = n % length;
31         
32         ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
33         dummy.next = head;
34         ListNode slow = dummy;
35         ListNode fast = head;
36         for(int i = 0;i < n;i++)
37                 fast = fast.next;
38         
39         ListNode tail = fast;
40         while(fast != null){
41             slow = slow.next;
42             tail = fast;
43             fast = fast.next;
44         }
45         tail.next = dummy.next;
46         dummy = slow.next;
47         slow.next = null;
48         return dummy;
49     }
50 }
