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:
begin to intersect at node c1.
Example 1:
Input: intersectVal = 8, listA = [4,1,8,4,5], listB = [5,0,1,8,4,5], skipA = 2, skipB = 3 Output: Reference of the node with value = 8 Input Explanation: The intersected node's value is 8 (note that this must not be 0 if the two lists intersect). From the head of A, it reads as [4,1,8,4,5]. From the head of B, it reads as [5,0,1,8,4,5]. There are 2 nodes before the intersected node in A; There are 3 nodes before the intersected node in B.
Example 2:
Input: intersectVal = 2, listA = [0,9,1,2,4], listB = [3,2,4], skipA = 3, skipB = 1 Output: Reference of the node with value = 2 Input Explanation: The intersected node's value is 2 (note that this must not be 0 if the two lists intersect). From the head of A, it reads as [0,9,1,2,4]. From the head of B, it reads as [3,2,4]. There are 3 nodes before the intersected node in A; There are 1 node before the intersected node in B.
Example 3:
Input: intersectVal = 0, listA = [2,6,4], listB = [1,5], skipA = 3, skipB = 2 Output: null Input Explanation: From the head of A, it reads as [2,6,4]. From the head of B, it reads as [1,5]. Since the two lists do not intersect, intersectVal must be 0, while skipA and skipB can be arbitrary values. Explanation: The two lists do not intersect, so return null.
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.
代码:
方法一——变成找循环起点的问题:
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
ListNode *getIntersectionNode(ListNode *headA, ListNode *headB) {
if (!headA || !headB)return NULL;
ListNode* p = headA;
while (p->next) {
p = p->next;
}
p->next = headB;
ListNode* fast = headA, *slow = headA;
while (fast&&fast->next) {
fast = fast->next->next;
slow = slow->next;
if (fast == slow)break;
}
if (!fast || !fast->next){p->next=NULL;return NULL;}
fast = headA;
while (slow != fast) {
slow = slow->next;
fast = fast->next;
}
p->next = NULL;
return slow;
}
};
方法二——以环的思路来解题:
class Solution {
public:
ListNode *getIntersectionNode(ListNode *headA, ListNode *headB) {
if (!headA || !headB) return NULL;
ListNode *a = headA, *b = headB;
while (a != b) {
a = a ? a->next : headB;
b = b ? b->next : headA;
}
return a;
}
};
