Reverse Linked List

Reverse singly linked list

Solution Approach

Iteratively reverse pointers. Maintain three pointers: previous, current, next. Update current.next = previous, move previous and current forward.

Implementation
def reverseList(head):
    prev = None
    curr = head
    while curr:
        next_temp = curr.next
        curr.next = prev
        prev = curr
        curr = next_temp
    return prev
