链表相关面试题
面试时链表解题的方法论
- 对于笔试,不用太在乎空间复杂度,一切为了时间复杂度
- 对于面试,时间复杂度依然放在第一位,但是一定要找到空间最省的方法
快慢指针
1)输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点,偶数长度返回上中点
2)输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点,偶数长度返回下中点
3)输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点前一个,偶数长度返回上中点前一个
4)输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点前一个,偶数长度返回下中点前一个
public static class Node {
public int value;
public Node next;
public Node(int v) {
value = v;
}
}
// 输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点,偶数长度返回上中点
public static Node midOrUpMidNode(Node head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null || head.next.next == null) {
return head;
}
// 链表有3个点或以上
Node slow = head.next;
Node fast = head.next.next;
while (fast.next != null && fast.next.next != null) {
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next.next;
}
return slow;
}
// 输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点,偶数长度返回下中点
public static Node midOrDownMidNode(Node head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null) {
return head;
}
Node slow = head.next;
Node fast = head.next;
while (fast.next != null && fast.next.next != null) {
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next.next;
}
return slow;
}
// 输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点前一个,偶数长度返回上中点前一个
public static Node midOrUpMidPreNode(Node head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null || head.next.next == null) {
return null;
}
Node slow = head;
Node fast = head.next.next;
while (fast.next != null && fast.next.next != null) {
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next.next;
}
return slow;
}
// 输入链表头节点,奇数长度返回中点前一个,偶数长度返回下中点前一个
public static Node midOrDownMidPreNode(Node head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null) {
return null;
}
if (head.next.next == null) {
return head;
}
Node slow = head;
Node fast = head.next;
while (fast.next != null && fast.next.next != null) {
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next.next;
}
return slow;
}
给定一个单链表的头节点head,请判断该链表是否为回文结构。
1)哈希表方法特别简单(笔试用)
2)改原链表的方法就需要注意边界了(面试用)
// need n extra space
public static boolean isPalindrome1(Node head) {
Stack<Node> stack = new Stack<Node>();
Node cur = head;
while (cur != null) {
stack.push(cur);
cur = cur.next;
}
while (head != null) {
if (head.value != stack.pop().value) {
return false;
}
head = head.next;
}
return true;
}
// need n/2 extra space
public static boolean isPalindrome2(Node head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null) {
return true;
}
Node right = head.next;
Node cur = head;
while (cur.next != null && cur.next.next != null) {
right = right.next;
cur = cur.next.next;
}
Stack<Node> stack = new Stack<Node>();
while (right != null) {
stack.push(right);
right = right.next;
}
while (!stack.isEmpty()) {
if (head.value != stack.pop().value) {
return false;
}
head = head.next;
}
return true;
}
// need O(1) extra space
public static boolean isPalindrome3(Node head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null) {
return true;
}
Node n1 = head;
Node n2 = head;
while (n2.next != null && n2.next.next != null) { // find mid node
n1 = n1.next; // n1 -> mid
n2 = n2.next.next; // n2 -> end
}
n2 = n1.next; // n2 -> right part first node
n1.next = null; // mid.next -> null
Node n3 = null;
while (n2 != null) { // right part convert
n3 = n2.next; // n3 -> save next node
n2.next = n1; // next of right node convert
n1 = n2; // n1 move
n2 = n3; // n2 move
}
n3 = n1; // n3 -> save last node
n2 = head;// n2 -> left first node
boolean res = true;
while (n1 != null && n2 != null) { // check palindrome
if (n1.value != n2.value) {
res = false;
break;
}
n1 = n1.next; // left to mid
n2 = n2.next; // right to mid
}
n1 = n3.next;
n3.next = null;
while (n1 != null) { // recover list
n2 = n1.next;
n1.next = n3;
n3 = n1;
n1 = n2;
}
return res;
}
将单向链表按某值划分成左边小、中间相等、右边大的形式
1)把链表放入数组里,在数组上做partition(笔试用)
2)分成小、中、大三部分,再把各个部分之间串起来(面试用)
public static Node listPartition1(Node head, int pivot) {
if (head == null) {
return head;
}
Node cur = head;
int i = 0;
while (cur != null) {
i++;
cur = cur.next;
}
Node[] nodeArr = new Node[i];
i = 0;
cur = head;
for (i = 0; i != nodeArr.length; i++) {
nodeArr[i] = cur;
cur = cur.next;
}
arrPartition(nodeArr, pivot);
for (i = 1; i != nodeArr.length; i++) {
nodeArr[i - 1].next = nodeArr[i];
}
nodeArr[i - 1].next = null;
return nodeArr[0];
}
public static void arrPartition(Node[] nodeArr, int pivot) {
int small = -1;
int big = nodeArr.length;
int index = 0;
while (index != big) {
if (nodeArr[index].value < pivot) {
swap(nodeArr, ++small, index++);
} else if (nodeArr[index].value == pivot) {
index++;
} else {
swap(nodeArr, --big, index);
}
}
}
public static void swap(Node[] nodeArr, int a, int b) {
Node tmp = nodeArr[a];
nodeArr[a] = nodeArr[b];
nodeArr[b] = tmp;
}
public static Node listPartition2(Node head, int pivot) {
Node sH = null; // small head
Node sT = null; // small tail
Node eH = null; // equal head
Node eT = null; // equal tail
Node mH = null; // big head
Node mT = null; // big tail
Node next = null; // save next node
// every node distributed to three lists
while (head != null) {
next = head.next;
head.next = null;
if (head.value < pivot) {
if (sH == null) {
sH = head;
sT = head;
} else {
sT.next = head;
sT = head;
}
} else if (head.value == pivot) {
if (eH == null) {
eH = head;
eT = head;
} else {
eT.next = head;
eT = head;
}
} else {
if (mH == null) {
mH = head;
mT = head;
} else {
mT.next = head;
mT = head;
}
}
head = next;
}
// small and equal reconnect
if (sT != null) { // 如果有小于区域
sT.next = eH;
eT = eT == null ? sT : eT; // 下一步,谁去连大于区域的头,谁就变成eT
}
// 上面的if,不管跑了没有,et
// all reconnect
if (eT != null) { // 如果小于区域和等于区域,不是都没有
eT.next = mH;
}
return sH != null ? sH : (eH != null ? eH : mH);
}
一种特殊的单链表节点类描述如下
class Node {
int value;
Node next;
Node rand;
Node(int val) { value = val; }
}
rand指针是单链表节点结构中新增的指针,rand可能指向链表中的任意一个节点,也可能指向null。
给定一个由Node节点类型组成的无环单链表的头节点 head,请实现一个函数完成这个链表的复制,并返回复制的新链表的头节点。
【要求】
时间复杂度O(N),额外空间复杂度O(1)
public static class Node {
public int value;
public Node next;
public Node rand;
public Node(int data) {
this.value = data;
}
}
笔试时用HashMap做
public static Node copyListWithRand1(Node head) {
HashMap<Node, Node> map = new HashMap<Node, Node>();
Node cur = head;
while (cur != null) {
map.put(cur, new Node(cur.value));
cur = cur.next;
}
cur = head;
while (cur != null) {
// cur 老
// map.get(cur) 新
map.get(cur).next = map.get(cur.next);
map.get(cur).rand = map.get(cur.rand);
cur = cur.next;
}
return map.get(head);
}
面试不使用HashMap的方法
public static Node copyListWithRand2(Node head) {
if (head == null) {
return null;
}
Node cur = head;
Node next = null;
// copy node and link to every node
// 1 -> 2
// 1 -> 1' -> 2
while (cur != null) {
// cur 老
next = cur.next;
cur.next = new Node(cur.value);
cur.next.next = next;
cur = next;
}
cur = head;
Node curCopy = null;
// set copy node rand
// 1 -> 1' -> 2 -> 2'
while (cur != null) {
// cur 老
// cur.next 新 copy
next = cur.next.next;
curCopy = cur.next;
curCopy.rand = cur.rand != null ? cur.rand.next : null;
cur = next;
}
Node res = head.next;
cur = head;
// split
while (cur != null) {
next = cur.next.next;
curCopy = cur.next;
cur.next = next;
curCopy.next = next != null ? next.next : null;
cur = next;
}
return res;
}
给定两个可能有环也可能无环的单链表,头节点head1和head2。请实现一个函数,如果两个链表相交,请返回相交的 第一个节点。如果不相交,返回null
【要求】
如果两个链表长度之和为N,时间复杂度请达到O(N),额外空间复杂度 请达到O(1)。
判断有没有环,一个慢指针每次走一步,一个快指针每次走两步,如果相遇就是有环
快指针回到开头,每次走一步,慢指针在相遇的位置,每次也走一步,再相遇的节点就是入环的节点
分情况判断:
1)两个无环链表相交
2)两个有环链表相交
一定共用环,入环结点是同一个,入环结点不是同一个
3)一个有环一个无环不可能相交
public static Node getIntersectNode(Node head1, Node head2) {
if (head1 == null || head2 == null) {
return null;
}
Node loop1 = getLoopNode(head1);
Node loop2 = getLoopNode(head2);
if (loop1 == null && loop2 == null) {
return noLoop(head1, head2);
}
if (loop1 != null && loop2 != null) {
return bothLoop(head1, loop1, head2, loop2);
}
return null;
}
// 找到链表第一个入环节点,如果无环,返回null
public static Node getLoopNode(Node head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null || head.next.next == null) {
return null;
}
// n1 慢 n2 快
Node n1 = head.next; // n1 -> slow
Node n2 = head.next.next; // n2 -> fast
while (n1 != n2) {
if (n2.next == null || n2.next.next == null) {
return null;
}
n2 = n2.next.next;
n1 = n1.next;
}
n2 = head; // n2 -> walk again from head
while (n1 != n2) {
n1 = n1.next;
n2 = n2.next;
}
return n1;
}
// 如果两个链表都无环,返回第一个相交节点,如果不想交,返回null
public static Node noLoop(Node head1, Node head2) {
if (head1 == null || head2 == null) {
return null;
}
Node cur1 = head1;
Node cur2 = head2;
int n = 0;
while (cur1.next != null) {
n++;
cur1 = cur1.next;
}
while (cur2.next != null) {
n--;
cur2 = cur2.next;
}
if (cur1 != cur2) {
return null;
}
// n : 链表1长度减去链表2长度的值
cur1 = n > 0 ? head1 : head2; // 谁长,谁的头变成cur1
cur2 = cur1 == head1 ? head2 : head1; // 谁短,谁的头变成cur2
n = Math.abs(n);
while (n != 0) {
n--;
cur1 = cur1.next;
}
while (cur1 != cur2) {
cur1 = cur1.next;
cur2 = cur2.next;
}
return cur1;
}
// 两个有环链表,返回第一个相交节点,如果不想交返回null
public static Node bothLoop(Node head1, Node loop1, Node head2, Node loop2) {
Node cur1 = null;
Node cur2 = null;
if (loop1 == loop2) {
cur1 = head1;
cur2 = head2;
int n = 0;
while (cur1 != loop1) {
n++;
cur1 = cur1.next;
}
while (cur2 != loop2) {
n--;
cur2 = cur2.next;
}
cur1 = n > 0 ? head1 : head2;
cur2 = cur1 == head1 ? head2 : head1;
n = Math.abs(n);
while (n != 0) {
n--;
cur1 = cur1.next;
}
while (cur1 != cur2) {
cur1 = cur1.next;
cur2 = cur2.next;
}
return cur1;
} else {
cur1 = loop1.next;
while (cur1 != loop1) {
if (cur1 == loop2) {
return loop1;
}
cur1 = cur1.next;
}
return null;
}
}
能不能不给单链表的头节点,只给想要删除的节点,就能做到在链表上把这个点删掉?
1、将下一个节点的值赋给这个节点,删掉它的一下节点
但是有局限性,这是一个服务器节点,那服务就宕机,现实情况不允许拷贝,绝对无法删除最后一个节点,想要删除必须找到上一个然后指向null,因为空是一个特定的区域
答案是不能删掉,要删掉必须要给他的上一个
