【LeetCode】21合并两个有序链表，迭代和递归

题目描述

将两个升序链表合并为一个新的 升序 链表并返回。新链表是通过拼接给定的两个链表的所有节点组成的。

示例 1：

输入：l1 = [1,2,4], l2 = [1,3,4]
输出：[1,1,2,3,4,4]

示例 2：
输入：l1 = [], l2 = []
输出：[]

示例 3：
输入：l1 = [], l2 = [0]
输出：[0]

提示：
两个链表的节点数目范围是 [0, 50]
-100 <= Node.val <= 100
l1 和 l2 均按 非递减顺序 排列

迭代法

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode() {}
 *     ListNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
 *     ListNode(int val, ListNode next) { this.val = val; this.next = next; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
        ListNode newhead = new ListNode(0);
        ListNode prenode = newhead;
        while(l1 != null && l2 != null) {
            if(l1.val <= l2.val) {
                prenode.next = l1;
                l1 = l1.next;
            }else {
                prenode.next = l2;
                l2 = l2.next;
            }
            prenode = prenode.next;
        }
        prenode.next = l1 == null ? l2 : l1;
        return newhead.next;
    }
}

递归法

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode() {}
 *     ListNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
 *     ListNode(int val, ListNode next) { this.val = val; this.next = next; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
        if(l1 == null) {
            return l2;
        }else if(l2 == null) {
            return l1;
        }else if(l1.val < l2.val) {
            l1.next = mergeTwoLists(l1.next, l2);
            return l1;
        }else {
            l2.next = mergeTwoLists(l1, l2.next);
            return l2;
        }
    }
}
