Linked List Patterns

Learn the core linked list interview patterns including reversal, merge, fast-slow pointers, nth-from-end, k-group reversal, and random pointers

Why Linked Lists Matter

Linked list interviews are less about memorizing pointer tricks and more about staying disciplined with:

  • pointer movement
  • dummy nodes
  • edge cases near the head
  • splitting and reconnecting pieces safely

If arrays test indexing, linked lists test pointer reasoning.
