LeetCode: Partition List 解题报告

Partition List

Given a linked list and a value x, partition it such that all nodes less than x come before nodes greater than or equal to x.

You should preserve the original relative order of the nodes in each of the two partitions.

For example,
Given 1->4->3->2->5->2 and x = 3,
return 1->2->2->4->3->5.

SOLUTION 1:

注意使用Dummynode来记录各个链条的头节点的前一个节点。这样我们可以轻松找回头节点。

1. Go Through the link, find the nodes which are bigger than N, create a new link.

2. After 1 done, just link the two links.

 8  *         next = null;

18         ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
19         dummy.next = head;
20
