24. Swap Nodes in Pairs

Given a linked list, swap every two adjacent nodes and return its head.

You may not modify the values in the list’s nodes, only nodes itself may be changed.

Example:

Given 1->2->3->4, you should return the list as 2->1->4->3.

Code:

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode(object):
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None

class Solution(object):
    def swapPairs(self, head):
        """
        :type head: ListNode
        :rtype: ListNode
        """
        pre, pre.next = self, head
        while pre.next and pre.next.next:
            a = pre.next
            b = a.next
            pre.next, b.next, a.next = b, a, b.next
            pre = a
        return self.next
        

pre->a->b->b.next   ==>   pre ->b->a->b.next
