Leetcode-Intersection of Two Linked Lists
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.
Solution:
1 /** 2 * Definition for singly-linked list. 3 * public class ListNode { 4 * int val; 5 * ListNode next; 6 * ListNode(int x) { 7 * val = x; 8 * next = null; 9 * } 10 * } 11 */ 12 public class Solution { 13 public ListNode getIntersectionNode(ListNode headA, ListNode headB) { 14 if (headA==null || headB==null) return null; 15 16 ListNode s1 = headA; 17 ListNode s2 = headB; 18 int len1 = 1; 19 while (s1.next!=null){ 20 len1++; 21 s1 = s1.next; 22 } 23 int len2 = 1; 24 while (s2.next!=null){ 25 len2++; 26 s2=s2.next; 27 } 28 s1 = headA; 29 s2 = headB; 30 if (len1>len2){ 31 while (len1>len2){ 32 s1 = s1.next; 33 len1--; 34 } 35 } else if (len1<len2){ 36 while (len1<len2){ 37 s2 = s2.next; 38 len2--; 39 } 40 } 41 42 while (s1!=null && s2!=null){ 43 if (s1==s2) 44 return s1; 45 s1 = s1.next; 46 s2 = s2.next; 47 } 48 49 return null; 50 } 51 }
