Reverse Nodes in K-Group

hard

Given the head of a linked list, reverse the nodes of the list k at a time, and return the modified list.

k is a positive integer and is less than or equal to the length of the linked list. If the number of nodes is not a multiple of k then left-out nodes, in the end, should remain as it is.

You may not alter the values in the list's nodes, only nodes themselves may be changed.

Examples

Example 1

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

1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 ↓ 2 → 1 → 4 → 3 → 5

Example 2

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

1 → 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 ↓ 3 → 2 → 1 → 4 → 5The last group has only 2 nodes, so it remains unchanged.

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the list is n
  • 1 <= k <= n <= 5000
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 1000

How the tests work: lists are written as arrays — [1,2,3] is the chain 1 → 2 → 3. Your function receives real ListNode objects, and the list you return is read back into an array.
