In this post, we are going to solve the 206. Reverse Linked List problem of Leetcode. This problem 206. Reverse Linked List is a Leetcode easy level problem. Let’s see the code, 206. Reverse Linked List – Leetcode Solution.

Problem

Given the head of a singly linked list, reverse the list, and return the reversed list.

Example 1 :

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

Example 2 :

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

Example 3 :

Input: head = []
Output: []

Constraints

• The number of nodes in the list is the range [0, 5000].
• -5000 <= Node.val <= 5000

Now, let’s see the code of 206. Reverse Linked List – Leetcode Solution.
