LeetCode021 Merge Two Sorted Lists

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

 

想到了用递归的方法做这道题。先比较l1和l2第一个节点的val，如果l1节点的val小，则输出这个节点，并继续比较l1.next和l2，

以此类推。

 

代码：

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode(object):
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None

class Solution(object):
    def mergeTwoLists(self, l1, l2):
        """
        :type l1: ListNode
        :type l2: ListNode
        :rtype: ListNode
        """
        
        if not l1:
            return l2
        elif not l2:
            return l1
        else:
            if l1.val <= l2.val:
                l1.next = self.mergeTwoLists(l1.next,l2)
                return l1
            else:
                l2.next = self.mergeTwoLists(l1,l2.next)
                return l2
