2.解题思路

3.代码实现

递归：

class Solution:
    def mergeTwoLists(self, l1, l2):
        if l1 is None:
            return l2
        elif l2 is None:
            return l1
        elif l1.val < l2.val:
            l1.next = self.mergeTwoLists(l1.next, l2)
            return l1
        else:
            l2.next = self.mergeTwoLists(l1, l2.next)
            return l2

迭代：

# 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
        """
        head = ListNode(0)
        first=head
        while l1!=None and l2!=None:
            if l1.val <= l2.val:
                head.next = l1
                l1 = l1.next
            else:
                head.next = l2
                l2 = l2.next
            head = head.next
        if l1 != None:
            head.next = l1
        elif l2 != None:
            head.next = l2
        return first.next
