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.

如果没有要求此题很简单。用hashset就可以。

但是题目要求 in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory。

可以先遍历两个链表,把他们的长度变为一样长。然后逐个比较。
