两个单链表相交的一系列问题

两个单链表相交的一系列问题
【题目】在本题中，单链表可能有环，也可能无环。给定两个单链表的头节点head1和head2，这两个链表可能相交，也可能不相交。请实现一个函数，如果两个链表相交，请返回相交的第一个节点；如果不相交，返回null 即可。要求：如果链表1的长度为N，链表2的长度为M，时间复杂度请达到O(N+M)，额外空间复杂度请达到O(1)。
 

思路:1.先判断两个链表的情况（是否有环）：

要求空间复杂度的做法：设置快慢指针，初始值为链表头结点。快指针一次走两步，慢指针一次走一步。若快指针指向空，则链表无环。若链表有环，则快慢指针必在环上相遇，相遇后快指针回到初始位置。 快指针此时每次只走一步，那么快慢指针一定相遇在第一个入环节点处（结论）。getLoopNode函数返回入环的第一个节点，无环链表则返回null：

public static Node getLoopNode(Node head) {
		if (head == null || head.next == null || head.next.next == null) {
			return null;
		}
		Node n1 = head.next; // n1 -> slow
		Node n2 = head.next.next; // n2 -> fast
		while (n1 != n2) {
			if (n2.next == null || n2.next.next == null) {
				return null;
			}
			n2 = n2.next.next;
			n1 = n1.next;
		}
		n2 = head; // n2 -> walk again from head
		while (n1 != n2) {
			n1 = n1.next;
			n2 = n2.next;
		}
		return n1;
	}

 

2.找到相交第一个节点：

此时三种情况：(1)两链表都无环：若两链表相交，则链表最后一项必相同。从长链表的长度减去与短链表长度差值处开始遍历，两链表节点相等找到第一个相交节点。

public static Node noLoop(Node head1, Node head2) {
		if (head1 == null || head2 == null) {
			return null;
		}
		Node cur1 = head1;
		Node cur2 = head2;
		int n = 0;
		while (cur1.next != null) {
			n++;
			cur1 = cur1.next;
		}
		while (cur2.next != null) {
			n--;
			cur2 = cur2.next;
		}
		if (cur1 != cur2) {
			return null;
		}
		cur1 = n > 0 ? head1 : head2;
		cur2 = cur1 == head1 ? head2 : head1;
		n = Math.abs(n);
		while (n != 0) {
			n--;
			cur1 = cur1.next;
		}
		while (cur1 != cur2) {
			cur1 = cur1.next;
			cur2 = cur2.next;
		}
		return cur1;
	}

 

(2)一个链表有环，一个链表无环：不可能相交，不符合单链表特质。

(3)两个链表都有环：

两个有环链表有三种拓扑结构：①两个链表不相交。②两链表先相交，后共享一环：

③两链表共享同一环，相交点在环上不同位置：

如何判断属于哪一种相交情况？getLoopNode函数返回了链表入环的第一个节点，若两链表入环节点相同，则为图二所示，方法与无环单链表相同，若两链表入环节点不同，遍历即可区分图一和三：

public static Node bothLoop(Node head1, Node loop1, Node head2, Node loop2) {
		Node cur1 = null;
		Node cur2 = null;
		if (loop1 == loop2) {
			cur1 = head1;
			cur2 = head2;
			int n = 0;
			while (cur1 != loop1) {
				n++;
				cur1 = cur1.next;
			}
			while (cur2 != loop2) {
				n--;
				cur2 = cur2.next;
			}
			cur1 = n > 0 ? head1 : head2;
			cur2 = cur1 == head1 ? head2 : head1;
			n = Math.abs(n);
			while (n != 0) {
				n--;
				cur1 = cur1.next;
			}
			while (cur1 != cur2) {
				cur1 = cur1.next;
				cur2 = cur2.next;
			}
			return cur1;
		} else {
			cur1 = loop1.next;
			while (cur1 != loop1) {
				if (cur1 == loop2) {
					return loop1;
				}
				cur1 = cur1.next;
			}
			return null;
		}
	}

		public int value;
		public Node next;

		public Node(int data) {
			this.value = data;
		}
	}

	public static Node getIntersectNode(Node head1, Node head2) {
		if (head1 == null || head2 == null) {
			return null;
		}
		Node loop1 = getLoopNode(head1);
		Node loop2 = getLoopNode(head2);
		if (loop1 == null && loop2 == null) {
			return noLoop(head1, head2);
		}
		if (loop1 != null && loop2 != null) {
			return bothLoop(head1, loop1, head2, loop2);
		}
		return null;
	}

	public static Node getLoopNode(Node head) {
		if (head == null || head.next == null || head.next.next == null) {
			return null;
		}
		Node n1 = head.next; // n1 -> slow
		Node n2 = head.next.next; // n2 -> fast
		while (n1 != n2) {
			if (n2.next == null || n2.next.next == null) {
				return null;
			}
			n2 = n2.next.next;
			n1 = n1.next;
		}
		n2 = head; // n2 -> walk again from head
		while (n1 != n2) {
