LeetCode Merge k Sorted Lists (链表)

题意

Merge k sorted linked lists and return it as one sorted list. Analyze and describe its complexity.
将K个排好序的链表合并成一个

解法

和之前合并两个有序链表那题不同,那题用的是两个指针来分别记录两个链表中的位置,将小的那个插入新链表然后指针右移,有点像归并排序时用到的方法。这题如果用K个指针来记录的话,每次需要找出最小的那个值,比较麻烦,所以采用的优先队列,首先将所有链表的第一个值入队,然后每次将值最小的一个出队插入新链表里,再将这个元素的下一个元素入队。

class Solution
{
	struct	Node
	{
		int	val;
		ListNode	* next = nullptr;
		bool	operator <(const Node & r) const
		{
			return	val > r.val;
		}
	};
public:
	ListNode* mergeKLists(vector<ListNode*>& lists)
	{
		int	count = lists.size();
		priority_queue<Node>	que;

		for(int i = 0;i < lists.size();i ++)
		{
			Node	temp;
			if(lists[i])
			{
				temp.val = lists[i] -> val;
				temp.next = lists[i] -> next;
				que.push(temp);
			}
		}

		ListNode	* head = nullptr;
		ListNode	* cur = nullptr;
		while(!que.empty())
		{
			ListNode	* node = new ListNode(0);
			Node	poped = que.top();
			que.pop();
			node -> val = poped.val;
			node -> next = poped.next;
			if(poped.next)
			{
				Node	temp;
				temp.val = poped.next -> val;
				temp.next = poped.next -> next;
				que.push(temp);
			}


			if(head == nullptr)
			{
				head = node;
				cur = node;
			}
			else
			{
				cur -> next = node;
				cur = cur -> next;
			}
		}
		return	head;
	}
};
