Intersection of Two Linked Lists

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.

typedef struct ListNode {
    int val;

ListNode *getIntersectionNode(ListNode *headA, ListNode *headB) {
    ListNode *p1,*p2;
    int n=0,m=0,d,i;
    if(headA==NULL||headB==NULL) return NULL;
    if(headA==headB) return headA;
    for(p1=headA;p1->next!=NULL;p1=p1->next) n++;
    for(p2=headB;p2->next!=NULL;p2=p2->next) m++;
    if(p1!=p2) return NULL;
    d=(m>=n)?(m-n):(n-m);
    if(n>m) {
        p1=headA;
        p2=headB;
    }
    else{ 
        p1=headB;
        p2=headA;
    }
    for(i=0;i<n;i++) p1=p1->next;
    while(p1!=NULL && p2!=NULL){
        if(p1==p2) return p1;
        else{
            p1=p1->next;
            p2=p2->next;
        }
    }
    return p1;
}
