How to Create Reverse a Linked List in Python

Submitted by razormist on Monday, October 14, 2024 - 23:50.

In this tutorial, we will program "How to Reverse a Linked List in Python". We will learn how to identify and reverse a linked list. The objective is to safely and accurately reverse the given linked list. I will provide a sample program to demonstrate the coding process.

This topic is very easy to understand. Just follow the instructions I provide, and you'll be able to do it yourself with ease. The program I’ll show you demonstrates the proper way to reverse a linked list. I’ll also provide a simple and efficient method to achieve this. So, let's start coding!

Getting Started:

First you will have to download & install the Python IDLE's, here's the link for the Integrated Development And Learning Environment for Python https://www.python.org/downloads/.

Creating Main Function

This is the main function of the application. The following code will display a simple GUI in terminal console that will display program. To do this, simply copy and paste these blocks of code into the IDLE text editor.
  1. class Node:
  2.  
  3.         def __init__(self, data):
  4.                 self.data = data
  5.                 self.next = None
  6.  
  7.  
  8. class LinkedList:
  9.  
  10.  
  11.         def __init__(self):
  12.                 self.head = None
  13.  
  14.         def reverseUtil(self, curr, prev):
  15.  
  16.        
  17.                 if curr.next is None:
  18.                         self.head = curr
  19.  
  20.                        
  21.                         curr.next = prev
  22.                         return
  23.  
  24.                
  25.                 next = curr.next
  26.  
  27.                
  28.                 curr.next = prev
  29.  
  30.                 self.reverseUtil(next, curr)
  31.  
  32.  
  33.         def reverse(self):
  34.                 if self.head is None:
  35.                         return
  36.                 self.reverseUtil(self.head, None)
  37.  
  38.        
  39.  
  40.         def push(self, new_data):
  41.                 new_node = Node(new_data)
  42.                 new_node.next = self.head
  43.                 self.head = new_node
  44.  
  45.        
  46.         def printList(self):
  47.                 temp = self.head
  48.                 while(temp):
  49.                         print(temp.data,end=" ")
  50.                         temp = temp.next
  51.  
  52.  
  53.  
  54. llist = LinkedList()
  55. llist.push(8)
  56. llist.push(7)
  57. llist.push(6)
  58. llist.push(5)
  59. llist.push(4)
  60. llist.push(3)
  61. llist.push(2)
  62. llist.push(1)
  63.  
  64. print("\n==================== Reverse a Linked List====================")
  65.  
  66. print("\nMy list")
  67. llist.printList()
  68.  
  69. llist.reverse()
  70.  
  71. print("\n\nReverse linked list")
  72. llist.printList()

This script generates a star pattern resembling a Christmas tree. It uses nested loops to print different sections of the tree, including the triangular parts and the trunk. The program first displays a small triangular section, followed by progressively larger sections, then concludes with a trunk made of stars.

The script keeps running in a loop, allowing the user to repeat or exit the program based on their input (yes or no). Each loop iteration redraws the star pattern.

Output:

There you have it we successfully created How to Create Reverse a Linked List in Python. I hope that this simple tutorial help you to what you are looking for. For more updates and tutorials just kindly visit this site. Enjoy Coding!
