Description
Given the head
of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list.
Example 1:

1
2
| Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: [5,4,3,2,1]
|
Example 2:

1
2
| Input: head = [1,2]
Output: [2,1]
|
Example 3:
1
2
| Input: head = []
Output: []
|
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the list is the range
[0, 5000]
. -5000 <= Node.val <= 5000
Solutions
Assume the linked list is (1→2→3→∅), and we want to change it to (∅←1←2←3).
While traversing the linked list, change the next
pointer of the current node to point to the previous node. Since a node does not have a reference to its previous node, we must store the previous node beforehand. We also need to store the next node before changing the reference. Finally, return the new head reference.
