题目描述

剑指 Offer 52. 两个链表的第一个公共节点

解题思路

遇到这样的题，显然是使用快慢指针
让较长的先走length1-length2步，然后两个再一起走，就会在同一个节点相遇

代码实现

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * function ListNode(val) {
 *     this.val = val;
 *     this.next = null;
 * }
 */

/**
 * @param {ListNode} headA
 * @param {ListNode} headB
 * @return {ListNode}
 */
var getIntersectionNode = function(headA, headB) {
    if (!headA || !headB) return null;
  var lengthA = getLength(headA);
  var lengthB = getLength(headB);
  var long, short, distance;
  if (lengthA > lengthB) {
    long = headA;
    short = headB;
    distance = lengthA - lengthB;
  } else {
    long = headB;
    short = headA;
    distance = lengthB - lengthA;
  }

  // 长的移动位置
  while (distance--) {
    long = long.next;
  }

  //一起走
  while (long && short) {
    if (long === short) {
      return long;
    }
    long = long.next;
    short = short.next;
  }
  return null;
};

function getLength(head) {
  let count = 0;
  let current = head;
  while (current) {
    count++;
    current = current.next;
  }
  return count;
};
