- Middle of the Linked List
Given a non-empty, singly linked list with head node head, return a middle node of linked list.
If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: Node 3 from this list (Serialization: [3,4,5])
The returned node has value 3. (The judge’s serialization of this node is [3,4,5]).
Note that we returned a ListNode object ans, such that:
ans.val = 3, ans.next.val = 4, ans.next.next.val = 5, and ans.next.next.next = NULL.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: Node 4 from this list (Serialization: [4,5,6])
Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one.
Note:
The number of nodes in the given list will be between 1 and 100.
题意:给一个链表找中间节点;如果有两个中间节点,取后一个;
思路一:
遍历一边得到n,然后再遍历n/2次,此时指向中间节点;
时间复杂度:O(n + n/2) = O(n)
空间复杂度:O(1)
思路二:
利用数组的思想,空间换时间;
将一个链表赋值进去一个数组并计数,然后返回下标(n+1)//2;
思路三:
很巧妙的思想,快慢指针法;
让两个指针slow 和 fast ,slow走一步,fast走两步;
(根据实际情况限定 : 如果fast最后两步没走完,slow就不需要走动)
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
ListNode* middleNode(ListNode* head) {
if(!head) return head;
ListNode* slow = head,*fast = head;
while(fast!=nullptr){
fast = fast->next;
if(fast){
fast = fast->next;
slow = slow->next;
}
}
return slow;
}
};
链表指针的运用真的很巧妙,special!
