    Wink Help!

    Hello, can somebody help me to make this method to run in O(n)
    constant time. I think it is running in big O of n square, because of the space. Thank you.




    // [[reverse the order of the elements of this list]]

    public void reverse()
    {
    Node current = tail;
    Node next = current.prev;
    tail.prev = null;

    do {
    current.next = next;
    Node temp = next;

    next = temp.prev;
    temp.prev = current;
    current = temp;

    }while (next != null);
    current.next = null;

    head = tail;
    tail = current;
    }

    That is O(n). It only goes once through the list.
