21. Merge Two Sorted Lists
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
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
/*
联系合并两个排序的数组，temp[k++] = (a[i]<b[j])? a[i++] : b[j++]
*/
class Solution
{
public:
ListNode* mergeTwoLists(ListNode* l1, ListNode* l2)
{
if(l1 == nullptr) return l2;
if(l2 == nullptr) return l1;
ListNode prehead(0); //头结点前面附加一结点（当原链表头结点可能会变化时都可以考虑使用prehead）
ListNode* p = &prehead; //新链表结点指针
for(; l1!=nullptr && l2!=nullptr; p = p->next) //比较l1和l2各结点大小，归并
{
if(l1->val < l2->val)
{
p->next = l1; //下一个结点指向l1结点
l1 = l1->next;
}
else
{
p->next = l2;
l2 = l2->next;
}
}
if(l1!=nullptr) p->next = l1; //处理剩余结点
if(l2!=nullptr) p->next = l2;
return prehead.next; //返回头结点指针
}
};
23. Merge k Sorted Lists （hard）
Merge k sorted linked lists and return it as one sorted list. Analyze and describe its complexity.
Example:
Input:
[
1->4->5,
1->3->4,
2->6
]
Output: 1->1->2->3->4->4->5->6
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
//多次用merge2lists的方法
class Solution
{
public:
ListNode* mergeKLists(vector<ListNode*>& lists)
{
if(lists.empty()) return nullptr;
/* ListNode* p = lists[0]; //初始化为第一个链表头指针
for(int i = 1; i<lists.size(); i++) //归并次数为lists.size()
{
p = mergeTwoLists(p, lists[i]);
}
return p;*/ //很耗时
/*
例：
len=5，list[0],list[1],list[2],list[3],list[4]
len/2 = 5/2 = 2;
i=0, (0,4)
i=1, (1,3)
(len+1)/2 = 3,保留 list[0],list[1],list[2]，新len=3
*/
while (lists.size() > 1)
{
int len = lists.size(); //当前链表数量
for (int i = 0; i < len/2; i++) //改进为不断二分归并，归并次数可以减少为n/2 + n/4 + ... +1
{
lists[i] = mergeTwoLists(lists[i], lists[len - i - 1]); //首尾对应归并
}
lists.resize((len + 1)/2); //新链表数量
}
return lists[0];
}
private:
ListNode* mergeTwoLists(ListNode* l1, ListNode* l2)
{
if(l1 == nullptr) return l2;//可加上特殊情况：如果l1=l2，直接返回l1
if(l2 == nullptr) return l1;
ListNode prehead(0); //头结点前面附加一结点
ListNode* p = &prehead; //新链表结点指针
for(; l1!=nullptr && l2!=nullptr; p = p->next) //比较l1和l2各结点大小，归并
{
if(l1->val < l2->val)
{
p->next = l1; //下一个结点指向l1结点
l1 = l1->next;
}
else
{
p->next = l2;
l2 = l2->next;
}
}
if(l1!=nullptr) p->next = l1; //处理剩余结点
if(l2!=nullptr) p->next = l2;
return prehead.next; //返回头结点指针
}
};
Sort List
Sort a linked list in O(n log n) time using constant space complexity.
Example 1:
Input: 4->2->1->3
Output: 1->2->3->4
Example 2:
Input: -1->5->3->4->0
Output: -1->0->3->4->5
/**
* Definition for singly-linked list.
* struct ListNode {
* int val;
* ListNode *next;
* ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
/*
问题：对链表排序
方法：归并排序
先用快慢指针法找到链表中部位置，对左右子链表递归处理，进行分割和归并
O(nlogn) O(1)
*/

{
public:
ListNode* sortList(ListNode* head)
{
if (!head || !head->next) return head;
ListNode *slow = head, *fast = head, *pre = head;
while (fast && fast->next)
{
pre = slow;
slow = slow->next;
fast = fast->next->next;
}//退出循环时，fast或fast->next = nullptr,slow指向中部位置
pre->next = NULL; //将左右子链表断开处理
return merge(sortList(head), sortList(slow)); //归并左右子链表
}
ListNode* merge(ListNode* l1, ListNode* l2)
{
if(l1 == nullptr) return l2;
if(l2 == nullptr) return l1;
