LeetCode--LinkedList--21.Merge Two Sorted Lists (Easy)

21. Merge Two Sorted Lists (Easy)

Merge two sorted linked lists and return it as a new list. The new list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.

Example:

Input: 1->2->4, 1->3->4
Output: 1->1->2->3->4->4

solution##

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
        ListNode head = new ListNode(-1);
        ListNode p = head, temp = null;
        while (l1 != null && l2 != null)
        {
            if (l1.val > l2.val)
            {
                temp = l2;
                l2 = l2.next;
            }
            else
            {
                temp = l1;
                l1 = l1.next;
            }
            p.next = temp;
            p = temp;
        }
        p.next = l1 != null ? l1 : l2;
        return head.next;
    }
}

总结##

题意是给定两个有序链表l1和l2,将这两个链表合并成一个有序链表。我的思路是构造一个头结点head,然后用一个while循环遍历这两个链表,如果l1.val大于l2.val,则将l2结点用temp变量保存起来,然后l2指向下一个结点,否则,则将l1结点用temp变量保存起来,然后l1指向下一个结点;接着使用尾插法将temp结点插到head链表的尾部;循环结束之后,再将剩下的结点直接插入到head链表尾部,最后返回head.next结点。
还有一种思路是用递归,这里就不细说了。

Notes
1.链表的插入,删除操作最好构造一个额外的头结点,方便操作的统一;
2.此题与两个有序数组的合并是一样的思路;
