这个题目较容易,我的想法是先比较两个链表的长度,我们要找到的交叉点是不可能为长的链表的前面超长的部分的,
所以要比较的就是两者之间较短的部分
Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists begins.
For example, the following two linked lists:
A: a1 → a2 ↘ c1 → c2 → c3 ↗ B: b1 → b2 → b3
begin to intersect at node c1.
Notes:
- If the two linked lists have no intersection at all, return
null
. - The linked lists must retain their original structure after the function returns.
- You may assume there are no cycles anywhere in the entire linked structure.
- Your code should preferably run in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory
/** * Definition for singly-linked list. * struct ListNode { * int val; * ListNode *next; * ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {} * }; */ class Solution { public: ListNode *getIntersectionNode(ListNode *headA, ListNode *headB) { size_t lengthA=0, lengthB=0,minus=0; ListNode *pA=headA, *pB=headB,*IntersectionNode=NULL; while (pA != NULL) { ++lengthA; pA = pA->next; } while (pB != NULL) { ++lengthB; pB = pB->next; } if (lengthA > lengthB) { pA = headA; pB = headB; minus = lengthA - lengthB; while (minus--) { pA = pA->next; } while (pA != NULL&&pB != NULL) { if (pA->val == pB->val&&IntersectionNode==NULL) IntersectionNode = pA; if (pA->val != pB->val) IntersectionNode = NULL; pA = pA->next; pB = pB->next; } return IntersectionNode; } else { pA = headA; pB = headB; minus = lengthB - lengthA; while (minus--) { pB = pB->next; } while (pA != NULL&&pB != NULL) { if (pA->val == pB->val&&IntersectionNode == NULL) IntersectionNode = pA; if (pA->val != pB->val) IntersectionNode = NULL; pA = pA->next; pB = pB->next; } return IntersectionNode; } } };
