Reverse Linked List
Solving Reverse Linked List using Iteration/recursion.
Problem
Reverse singly linked list.
Pattern
This problem demonstrates the Iteration/recursion pattern.
Approach
Iterative with three pointers.
Solution
// Solution for Reverse Linked List
// Pattern: Iteration/recursion
// O(n) time, O(1) space
Complexity
O(n) time, O(1) space
Best Practices
- Identify the pattern before coding — pattern recognition saves time
- Handle edge cases: empty input, single element, duplicates
- Use descriptive variable names even in timed interviews
- Test with the provided examples plus one custom case
