Partition List

Given a linked list and a value x, partition it such that all nodes less than x come before nodes greater than or equal to x.
You should preserve the original relative order of the nodes in each of the two partitions.
For example,
Given 1->4->3->2->5->2->null and x = 3,
return 1->2->2->4->3->5->null.
public class Solution {
    /**
     * @param head: The first node of linked list.
     * @param x: an integer
     * @return: a ListNode 
     */
    public ListNode partition(ListNode head, int x) {
        // write your code here
        if(head == null || x == 0) return head;
        ListNode leftdummy = new ListNode(0);
        ListNode rightdummy = new ListNode(0);
        ListNode left = leftdummy, right = rightdummy;
        while(head != null){
            if(head.val < x){
                left.next = head;
                left = left.next;
            }else{
                right.next = head;
                right = right.next;
            }
            head = head.next;
        }
        right.next = null;
        left.next = rightdummy.next;
        return leftdummy.next;
    }
}
