160. 相交链表(Intersection of Two Linked Lists)E

英文题目

  • Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists begins.

  • For example, the following two linked lists:

  • begin to intersect at node c1.

  • Example 1:

  • Input: intersectVal = 8, listA = [4,1,8,4,5], listB = [5,6,1,8,4,5], skipA = 2, skipB = 3
    Output: Reference of the node with value = 8
    Input Explanation: The intersected node's value is 8 (note that this must not be 0 if the two lists intersect). From the head of A, it reads as [4,1,8,4,5]. From the head of B, it reads as [5,6,1,8,4,5]. There are 2 nodes before the intersected node in A; There are 3 nodes before the intersected node in B.
    
  • Example 2:

  • Input: intersectVal = 2, listA = [1,9,1,2,4], listB = [3,2,4], skipA = 3, skipB = 1
    Output: Reference of the node with value = 2
    Input Explanation: The intersected node's value is 2 (note that this must not be 0 if the two lists intersect). From the head of A, it reads as [1,9,1,2,4]. From the head of B, it reads as [3,2,4]. There are 3 nodes before the intersected node in A; There are 1 node before the intersected node in B.
    
  • Example 3:

  • Input: intersectVal = 0, listA = [2,6,4], listB = [1,5], skipA = 3, skipB = 2
    Output: null
    Input Explanation: From the head of A, it reads as [2,6,4]. From the head of B, it reads as [1,5]. Since the two lists do not intersect, intersectVal must be 0, while skipA and skipB can be arbitrary values.
    
  • Explanation: The two lists do not intersect, so return null.

  • 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.

  • Each value on each linked list is in the range [1, 10^9].

  • Your code should preferably run in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory.

中文题目

  • 编写一个程序,找到两个单链表相交的起始节点。

  • 如下面的两个链表**:**

  • 在节点 c1 开始相交。

  • 示例 1:

  • 输入:intersectVal = 8, listA = [4,1,8,4,5], listB = [5,0,1,8,4,5], skipA = 2, skipB = 3
    输出:Reference of the node with value = 8
    输入解释:相交节点的值为 8 (注意,如果两个链表相交则不能为 0)。从各自的表头开始算起,链表 A 为 [4,1,8,4,5],链表 B 为 [5,0,1,8,4,5]。在 A 中,相交节点前有 2 个节点;在 B 中,相交节点前有 3 个节点。
    
  • 示例 2:

  • 输入:intersectVal = 2, listA = [0,9,1,2,4], listB = [3,2,4], skipA = 3, skipB = 1
    输出:Reference of the node with value = 2
    输入解释:相交节点的值为 2 (注意,如果两个链表相交则不能为 0)。从各自的表头开始算起,链表 A 为 [0,9,1,2,4],链表 B 为 [3,2,4]。在 A 中,相交节点前有 3 个节点;在 B 中,相交节点前有 1 个节点。
    
  • 示例 3:

  • 输入:intersectVal = 0, listA = [2,6,4], listB = [1,5], skipA = 3, skipB = 2
    输出:null
    输入解释:从各自的表头开始算起,链表 A 为 [2,6,4],链表 B 为 [1,5]。由于这两个链表不相交,所以 intersectVal 必须为 0,而 skipA 和 skipB 可以是任意值。
    解释:这两个链表不相交,因此返回 null。
    
  • 注意:

  • 如果两个链表没有交点,返回 null.

  • 在返回结果后,两个链表仍须保持原有的结构。

  • 可假定整个链表结构中没有循环。

  • 程序尽量满足 O(n) 时间复杂度,且仅用 O(1) 内存。

哈希集合

  • 用集合存储A链表所有节点,然后遍历B链表查看是否存在

  • 时间复杂度O(m+n),空间复杂度O(m),m,n 分别是链表headA和headB的长度

双指针

  • 思路是:先遍历完自己的链表,再遍历对方的链表

  • 如图,设「第一个公共节点」是node

  • 指针 pA 先遍历完链表 headA ,再开始遍历链表 headB ,当走到 node 时,共走步数为:a + (b - c)

  • 指针 pB 先遍历完链表 headB ,再开始遍历链表 headA ,当走到 node 时,共走步数为:b + (a - c)

  • 此时指针 pA,pB 重合,有两种情况:

  • 1.若两链表有公共尾部(即 c > 0):指针 pA,pB 同时指向「第一个公共节点」node

  • 2.若两链表无公共尾部(即 c = 0):指针 pA,pB 同时指向 null

  • 此时返回 pA 即可(pB也行),它们相等

  • 时间复杂度O(a+b),空间复杂度O(1)
