将单链表排序的两种方法

对单链表排序,通常有两种方法。(PS:考察一个程序员的C语言编程功底,通常看他是否能娴熟的操作链表就知道了。

  • 方法1:将每一个结点保存到额外的数组中,对数组进行排序,然后根据有序的数组重新构建链表。
  • 方法2:直接对链表进行插入排序,但是实现起来比较复杂一些。

显然,方法1最为简单,因为将链式存储L先转化为顺序存储a[],对顺序存储a[]排序,就避免了较为复杂的链接指针操作。一旦对顺序存储a[]排好序后,根据a[]重新构建一个链表是易如反掌的事情。

1. 单链表的定义如下

typedef struct list_s {
        int data;
        struct list_s *next;
} list_t;

  1 /*
  2  * Single Linked List Sorting
  3  *
  4  *      1. convert a[] to a single linked list L
  5  *         e.g. int a[] = {9, 8, 7, 7}
  6  *         ==>        L = 9->8->7->7->NULL
  7  *      2. sort list L via straight insertion sorting
  8  *         ==>        L = 7->7->8->9->NULL
  9  *      3. convert list L back to a[]
 10  *         ==>      a[] = {7, 7, 8, 9}
 11  *
 12  * Note there are two solutions,
 13  *      (a) Use aux[] to save addr of per node in list L, then sort aux[] via
 14  *          straight insertion sorting algorithm, and rebuild list L by walking
 15  *          sorted aux[]
 16  *      (b) Don‘t use aux[] but directly sort the single liked list L
 17  *
 18  *      To implement the two solutions above, (a) is very easy and (b) is a bit
 19  *      difficult. Please also keep in mind that performance of (b) is good.
