1. 题目描述
力扣在线OJ——21合并两个有序链表
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]
2. 思路
合并两个链表和合并两个数组的最简单思路都一样的,都是从两个表中比较元素,谁小就放到新的表中;
- 定义newhead = NULL,tail = NULL; newhead 是新链表的头,tail是新链表的尾部;
- 比较cur1->val 和 cur2->val ,谁小就谁插入newhead的尾巴tail->next中;
- tips1:第一次插入的时候,头插的逻辑要单独处理,因为tail == NULL,无法使用tail->next;
- tips2:cur1和cur2比较到尾时候,谁先结束到尾,还没到尾的,直接把剩下的链表插入到newhead链表中,即tail->next,因为是链表,所以直接链接过去就好了,不用一个一个搬。
3.代码实现1
struct ListNode* mergeTwoLists(struct ListNode* list1, struct ListNode* list2) {if (list1 == NULL) {return list2;}if (list2 == NULL) {return list1;}struct ListNode* cur1 = list1;struct ListNode* cur2 = list2;struct ListNode* head = NULL;struct ListNode* tail = NULL;while (cur1&&cur2) {//有一个结束就结束了,我们写的是继续的条件,两个都不为空才是我们的继续条件if (cur1->val < cur2->val) {if (head == NULL){head = tail = cur1;}else{tail->next= cur1;tail = tail->next;}cur1 = cur1->next;}else{if (head == NULL){head = tail = cur2;//刚开始head==NULL 的时候,先进行赋值,}else{tail->next= cur2;tail = tail->next;}cur2 = cur2->next;}}if(cur1){tail->next = cur1;}if(cur2){tail->next = cur2;}return head;
}
4.代码实现2
带哨兵的链表实现
/*** Definition for singly-linked list.* struct ListNode {* int val;* struct ListNode *next;* };*/
struct ListNode* mergeTwoLists(struct ListNode* list1, struct ListNode* list2) {struct ListNode *cur1 = list1, *cur2 = list2;struct ListNode *guard = NULL, *tail = NULL;guard = tail = (struct ListNode*)malloc(sizeof(struct ListNode));tail->next = NULL;while (cur1 && cur2) {if (cur1->val < cur2->val) {tail->next = cur1;tail = tail->next;cur1 = cur1->next;} else {tail->next = cur2;tail = tail->next;cur2 = cur2->next;}}if (cur1) {tail->next = cur1;}if (cur2) {tail->next = cur2;}struct ListNode* head = guard->next;free(guard);guard = NULL;return head;
}
