Given a Linked List of length n and block length k rotate in a circular manner towards right/left each block by a number d. If d is positive rotate towards right else rotate towards left.
Examples:
Input: 1->2->3->4->5->6->7->8->9->NULL, k = 3 d = 1 Output: 3->1->2->6->4->5->9->7->8->NULL Explanation: Here blocks of size 3 are rotated towards right(as d is positive) by 1. Input: 1->2->3->4->5->6->7->8->9->10-> 11->12->13->14->15->NULL, k = 4 d = -1 Output: 2->3->4->1->6->7->8->5->10->11 ->12->9->14->15->13->NULL Explanation: Here, at the end of linked list, remaining nodes are less than k, i.e. only three nodes are left while k is 4. Rotate those 3 nodes also by d.
Prerequisite: Rotate a linked list
The idea is if the absolute value of d is greater than the value of k, then rotate the link list by d % k times. If d is 0, no need to rotate the linked list at all.
Output:
Given linked list 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Rotated by blocks Linked list 2 3 1 5 6 4 8 9 7
Time complexity: O(n) since using a single loop to traverse a linked list to rotate
Auxiliary Space: O(n) for call stack
