Reorder List

Problem statement

You are given the head of a singly linked-list. The list can be represented as:

L0 → L1 → … → Ln - 1 → Ln

Reorder the list to be on the following form:

L0 → Ln → L1 → Ln - 1 → L2 → Ln - 2 → …

You may not modify the values in the list's nodes. Only nodes themselves may be changed.

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

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

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [1, 5 * 104].
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 1000

My solution

/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* function ListNode(val, next) {
* this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
* this.next = (next===undefined ? null : next)
* }
*/
/**
* @param {ListNode} head
* @return {void} Do not return anything, modify head in-place instead.
*/
var reorderList = function(head) {
const listArr = []

while (head) {
listArr.push(head);
head = head.next
}


let left = 0;
let right = listArr.length - 1;

while (left < right) {
listArr[left].next = listArr[right]
listArr[right].next = (left + 1 !== right) ? listArr[left + 1] : null;
left++;
right--
}

if (left == right) {
listArr[left].next = null;
}

return head;
};
