【LeetCode算法-21】Merge Two Sorted Lists


LeetCode第21题

Merge two sorted linked lists and return it as a new list. The new list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.

Example:

Input: 1->2->4, 1->3->4

Output: 1->1->2->3->4->4

翻译

合并两个有序链表并返回一个新的链表,新链表必须由前两个链表拼接而成

思路:

把两个单链表的表头的值相互比较,较小的ListNode插入到新建的单链表中,然后更新表头,继续比较表头的值,原理和插入排序类似

步骤1:

l1:1->2->4

l2:1->3->4

l:

步骤2:

l1:1->2->4

l2:3->4

l:1->

步骤3:

l1:2->4

l2:3->4

l:1->1->

步骤4:

l1:4

l2:3->4

l:1->1->2->

...

最后两个链表肯定有一个是没比较完的,直接加在新建的链表最后就行了

代码:

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
        ListNode temp = new ListNode(-1);
        ListNode l = temp;
        
        while(l1 != null && l2 != null){
            if(l1.val > l2.val){
                temp.next = l2;
                l2 = l2.next;
            }else{
                temp.next = l1;
                l1 = l1.next;
            }
            temp = temp.next;
        }
        temp.next = (l1!=null)?l1:l2;
        return l.next;
    }
}
最后返回l.next是因为l和temp两个单链表的表头地址是相同的
