Iterative version with three variables

Iterative version with one variable

Recursive Version 2 (Java)

void reverseList(){
	head.reverse(null);
	Node temp=head;
	head=tail;
	tail=temp;
}

public void reverse(Node previousNode){
	if(next!=null)
		next.reverse(this);
	next=previousNode;
}

Recursive Version 3 (C++)

struct node{
   int data;
   node* next;
};

node* new_head; // store the new head after calling reverse_sll function

void reverse_sll(node* current_node, node* prev_node=NULL){
   if(current_node==NULL)
      new_head = prev_node;
   else{
      reverse_sll(current_node->next, current_node);
      current_node->next=prev_node;
   }
}
