题目:
Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists begins.
For example, the following two linked lists:
A: a1 → a2 ↘ c1 → c2 → c3 ↗ B: b1 → b2 → b3
begin to intersect at node c1.
Notes:
- If the two linked lists have no intersection at all, return
null
. - The linked lists must retain their original structure after the function returns.
- You may assume there are no cycles anywhere in the entire linked structure.
- Your code should preferably run in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory.
分析:
先遍历一个链表,用哈希表记录其节点的情况。遍历另一个链表,如果某个节点已经存在于哈希表中,则该节点就是要找的交叉节点。
Java代码实现:
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* public class ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode next;
* ListNode(int x) {
* val = x;
* next = null;
* }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public ListNode getIntersectionNode(ListNode headA, ListNode headB) {
if(headA==null || headB==null)
return null;
HashMap<ListNode, Integer> h = new HashMap<ListNode, Integer>();
ListNode node = headA;
while(node!=null)
{
h.put(node, 1);
node = node.next;
}
node = headB;
while(node!=null)
{
if(h.containsKey(node))
return node;
node = node.next;
}
return null;
}
}
