What is the trick in reversing a linked list? The solution is just some while loops...

Anyways it is a bad question to ask because it is very easy and is frequently studied so candidates just memorise the answer.

One while loop. Maybe you need to memorize again :).

There's no need to memorize anything at all; if you can code you can come up with a solution on your own within at most minutes.

I do not need to memorize it that was the point I was making, as it is so simple I can and have worked it out on the spot.
