Rearrange a Linked List in Zig-Zag fashion
Last Updated :
05 Aug, 2024
Given a linked list, rearrange it such that the converted list should be of the form a < b > c < d > e < f … where a, b, c… are consecutive data nodes of the linked list.
Examples:
Input: 1->2->3->4
Output: 1->3->2->4
Explanation : 1 and 3 should come first before 2 and 4 in zig-zag fashion, So resultant linked-list will be 1->3->2->4.
Input: 11->15->20->5->10
Output: 11->20->5->15->10
A simple approach to do this is to sort the linked list using merge sort and then swap alternate, but that requires O(n Log n) time complexity. Here n is a number of elements in the linked list.
An efficient approach that requires O(n) time is, using a single scan similar to bubble sort and then maintain a flag for representing which order () currently we are. If the current two elements are not in that order then swap those elements otherwise not. Please refer to this for a detailed explanation of the swapping order.

{
// If flag is true, then next node should be greater in
// the desired output.
bool flag = true;
// Traverse linked list starting from head.
Node* current = head;
while (current->next != NULL) {
if (flag) /* "<" relation expected */
{
// If we have a situation like A > B > C where
// A, B and C are consecutive Nodes in list we
// get A > B < C by swapping B and C
if (current->data > current->next->data)

Another Approach:
In the above code, the push function pushes the node at the front of the linked list, the code can be easily modified for pushing the node at the end of the list. Another thing to note is, swapping of data between two nodes is done by swap by value not swap by links for simplicity, for the swap by links technique please see this.
This can be also be done recursively. The idea remains the same, let us suppose the value of the flag determines the condition we need to check for comparing the current element. So, if the flag is 0 (or false) the current element should be smaller than the next and if the flag is 1 ( or true ) then the current element should be greater than the next. If not, swap the values of nodes.

Complexity Analysis:
- Time Complexity: O(n).
Traversal of the list is done only once, and it has 'n' elements. - Auxiliary Space: O(n).
O(n) extra space data structure for storing values.

Reverse a Linked List according to its Size
Given a linked list with n nodes, reverse it in the following way : If n is even, reverse it in a group of n/2 nodes.If n is odd, keep the middle node as it is, reverse first n/2 elements and reverse last n/2 elements. Examples: Input : 1 2 3 4 5 6 (n is even) Output : 3 2 1 6 5 4 Input : 1 2 3 4 5

Can we reverse a linked list in less than O(n)?
It is not possible to reverse a simple singly linked list in less than O(n). A simple singly linked list can only be reversed in O(n) time using recursive and iterative methods. A doubly linked list with head and tail pointers while only requiring swapping the head and tail pointers which require le
