You are given an immutable linked list, print out all values of each node in reverse with the help of the following interface:

ImmutableListNode: An interface of immutable linked list, you are given the head of the list.
You need to use the following functions to access the linked list (you can’t access the ImmutableListNode directly):

ImmutableListNode.printValue(): Print value of the current node.
ImmutableListNode.getNext(): Return the next node.
The input is only given to initialize the linked list internally. You must solve this problem without modifying the linked list. In other words, you must operate the linked list using only the mentioned APIs.

Follow up:

Could you solve this problem in:

Constant space complexity?
Linear time complexity and less than linear space complexity?

Example 1:

Input: head = [1,2,3,4]
Output: [4,3,2,1]
Example 2:

Input: head = [0,-4,-1,3,-5]
Output: [-5,3,-1,-4,0]
Example 3:

Input: head = [-2,0,6,4,4,-6]
Output: [-6,4,4,6,0,-2]

Constraints:
The length of the linked list is between [1, 1000].
The value of each node in the linked list is between [-1000, 1000].

Similar to How to Reverse a Linked List in Javascript?, we can have several ways to reverse a linked list. However, as the linked list here is iimmutable which means we can’t change the pointers of the nodes, we can although invoke the print function, thus we could use recursion or stack (First In Last Out) to achieve the task.

Recursive Reverse the Linked List

Recursion produces a short and clean code. If the current node is not NULL, we need to recursively call the print function and then print the current node (which is last).

Iteratively Reverse Printing a Linked List using a Stack

We could use a stack data structure (First In Last Out). Then we just need to follow the linked list and push each node to the stack. Then, we can remove a node from the stack one by one – which will be the reversed order of the linked list.

            st.pop();

        }
    }
};

Both implementations are O(N) space and O(N) time complexity.
