[Python]两个链表的第一个公共结点 解题思路

题目描述：

输入两个链表，找出它们的第一个公共结点

解法1：

利用python内置的字典

# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None
class Solution:
    def FindFirstCommonNode(self, pHead1, pHead2):
        tagdict={}
        while pHead1:
            tagdict[pHead1]=True
            pHead1=pHead1.next
        while pHead2:
            if pHead2 in tagdict:
                return pHead2
            pHead2=pHead2.next

解法2：

先确定两个链表的长度，然后把两个链表达到相同的起点，再同时往前走判断

# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None
class Solution:
    def FindFirstCommonNode(self, pHead1, pHead2):
        length1=length2=0
        q=pHead1
        while q:
            length1+=1
            q=q.next
        p=pHead2
        while p:
            length2+=1
            p=p.next
        length=length1-length2
        while length>0:
            pHead1=pHead1.next
            length-=1
        while length<0:
            pHead2=pHead2.next
            length+=1
        while pHead1!=pHead2:
            pHead1=pHead1.next
            pHead2=pHead2.next
        return pHead1
