【LeetCode】21. Merge Two Sorted Lists

LeetCode21 传送门

解法：

    解法和实现跟心路一样。使用dummy head可以避免处理初始化新链表的头部这一特殊情况，dummy head在其他编程题中也可以得到应用。

我的心路：

    使用了dummy_head实现，实现效率低于七个月前。

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None

class Solution:
    def mergeTwoLists(self, l1: ListNode, l2: ListNode) -> ListNode:
        dummy = ListNode(0)
        cur = dummy
        while(l1 and l2):
            if l1.val > l2.val:
                cur.next = l2
                l2 = l2.next
            else:
                cur.next = l1
                l1 = l1.next
            cur = cur.next
        if l1 != None:
            cur.next = l1
        elif l2 != None:
            cur.next = l2
        return dummy.next

    七个月前的实现方式和目前差别很小。
