Partition List

Given a linked list and a value x, partition it such that all nodes less than x come before nodes greater than or equal to x.

You should preserve the original relative order of the nodes in each of the two partitions.

For example,

Given 1->4->3->2->5->2 and x = 3,

return 1->2->2->4->3->5.

Solution:

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public ListNode partition(ListNode head, int x) {
        ListNode dummy1 = new ListNode(0);
        ListNode dummy2 = new ListNode(0);
        ListNode p1 = dummy1;
        ListNode p2 = dummy2;
        while(head!=null){
            if(head.val<x){
                p1.next = head;
                p1 = p1.next;
            } else {
                p2.next = head;
                p2 = p2.next;
            }
            head = head.next;
        }
        p1.next = dummy2.next;
        p2.next = null;
        return dummy1.next;
    }
}
