Sort a linked list in O(n log n) time using constant space complexity.
分析:
归并排序,考虑链表和数组的区别,链表每次划分为两段链表,然后有序链表归并。可以复用21. Merge Two Sorted Lists代码。
/**

public:
ListNode* sortList(ListNode* head) {
if (head == NULL || head->next == NULL) return head;
ListNode* head1 = head;
ListNode* head2 = getMid(head);
head1 = sortList(head1);
head2 = sortList(head2);
return mergeTwoLists(head1, head2);

ListNode *slow = head, *fast = head, *prev = head;

prev->next = NULL; // cut at middle
return slow;
