Given a Linked List of integers, write a function to modify the linked list such that all even numbers appear before all the odd numbers in the modified linked list. Also, keep the order of even and odd numbers the same.

Examples: 

Input: 17->15->8->12->10->5->4->1->7->6->NULL
Output: 8->12->10->4->6->17->15->5->1->7->NULL

Input: 8->12->10->5->4->1->6->NULL
Output: 8->12->10->4->6->5->1->NULL

// If all numbers are even then do not change the list

Input: 8->12->10->NULL
Output: 8->12->10->NULL

// If all numbers are odd then do not change the list

Input: 1->3->5->7->NULL
Output: 1->3->5->7->NULL

Method 1 
The idea is to get a pointer to the last node of list. And then traverse the list starting from the head node and move the odd valued nodes from their current position to end of the list.

Follow the steps below to implement the above idea:

  • Get a pointer to the last node. 
  • Move all the odd nodes to the end. 
    • Consider all odd nodes before the first even node and move them to end. 
    • Change the head pointer to point to the first even node. 
    •  Consider all odd nodes after the first even node and move them to the end. 

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ program to segregate even and
//  odd nodes in a Linked List 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
/* a node of the singly linked list */
class Node 
    public:
    int data; 
    Node *next; 
}; 
  
void segregateEvenOdd(Node **head_ref) 
    Node *end = *head_ref; 
    Node *prev = NULL; 
    Node *curr = *head_ref; 
  
    /* Get pointer to the last node */
    while (end->next != NULL) 
        end = end->next; 
  
    Node *new_end = end; 
  
    /* Consider all odd nodes before the first 
     even node and move then after end */
    while (curr->data % 2 != 0 && curr != end) 
    
        new_end->next = curr; 
        curr = curr->next; 
        new_end->next->next = NULL; 
        new_end = new_end->next; 
    
  
    // 10->8->17->17->15 
    /* Do following steps only if 
    there is any even node */
    if (curr->data%2 == 0) 
    
        /* Change the head pointer to 
        point to first even node */
        *head_ref = curr; 
  
        /* now current points to
        the first even node */
        while (curr != end) 
        
            if ( (curr->data) % 2 == 0 ) 
            
                prev = curr; 
                curr = curr->next; 
            
            else
            
                /* break the link between
                prev and current */
                prev->next = curr->next; 
  
                /* Make next of curr as NULL */
                curr->next = NULL; 
  
                /* Move curr to end */
                new_end->next = curr; 
  
                /* make curr as new end of list */
                new_end = curr; 
  
                /* Update current pointer to
                next of the moved node */
                curr = prev->next; 
            
        
    
  
    /* We must have prev set before executing 
    lines following this statement */
    else prev = curr; 
  
    /* If there are more than 1 odd nodes 
    and end of original list is odd then 
    move this node to end to maintain 
    same order of odd numbers in modified list */
    if (new_end != end && (end->data) % 2 != 0) 
    
        prev->next = end->next; 
        end->next = NULL; 
        new_end->next = end; 
    
    return

Output

Original Linked list 0 2 4 6 8 10 11 
Modified Linked list 0 2 4 6 8 10 11 

Time Complexity: O(n), As we are only traversing linearly through the list.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Thanks to blunderboy for suggesting this method.

 

Method 2: 

The idea is to split the linked list into two:  one containing all even nodes and the other containing all odd nodes. And finally, attach the odd node linked list after the even node linked list. 
To split the Linked List, traverse the original Linked List and move all odd nodes to a separate Linked List of all odd nodes. At the end of loop, the original list will have all the even nodes and the odd node list will have all the odd nodes. To keep the ordering of all nodes same, we must insert all the odd nodes at the end of the even node list. And to do that in constant time, we must keep track of last pointer in the even node list.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// CPP program to segregate even and odd nodes in a
// Linked List
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
/* a node of the singly linked list */
struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node* next;
};
  
// Function to segregate even and odd nodes.
void segregateEvenOdd(struct Node** head_ref)
{
    // Starting node of list having even values.
    Node* evenStart = NULL;
    // Ending node of even values list.
    Node* evenEnd = NULL;
    // Starting node of odd values list.
    Node* oddStart = NULL;
    // Ending node of odd values list.
    Node* oddEnd = NULL;
    // Node to traverse the list.
    Node* currNode = *head_ref;
  
    while (currNode != NULL) {
        int val = currNode->data;
  
        // If current value is even, add it to even values
        // list.
        if (val % 2 == 0) {
            if (evenStart == NULL) {
                evenStart = currNode;
                evenEnd = evenStart;
            }
            else {
                evenEnd->next = currNode;
                evenEnd = evenEnd->next;
            }
        }
  
        // If current value is odd, add it to odd values
        // list.
        else {
            if (oddStart == NULL) {
                oddStart = currNode;
                oddEnd = oddStart;
            }
            else {
                oddEnd->next = currNode;
                oddEnd = oddEnd->next;
            }
        }
  
        // Move head pointer one step in forward direction
        currNode = currNode->next;
    }
  
    // If either odd list or even list is empty, no change
    // is required as all elements are either even or odd.
    if (oddStart == NULL || evenStart == NULL)
        return;
  
    // Add odd list after even list.
    evenEnd->next = oddStart;
    oddEnd->next = NULL;
  
    // Modify head pointer to starting of even list.
    *head_ref = evenStart;
}

{
    /* allocate node */
    Node* new_node = new Node();

    /* move the head to point to the new node */
    (*head_ref) = new_node;
}

void printList(Node* node)
{
    while (node != NULL) {
        cout << node->data << " ";
        node = node->next;
    }

Output

Original Linked list
0 1 4 6 9 10 11 
Modified Linked list 
0 4 6 10 1 9 11 

Time Complexity: O(n), As we are only traversing linearly through the list.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Please write comments if you find the above code/algorithm incorrect, or find other ways to solve the same problem.

Method 3:

Using Queue data structure to solve this problem. Maintaining an even queue and an odd queue to get desired outputs.
