这是在笔试中进行面试时提出的编程问题。“您有两个已经排序的单链接列表，您必须将它们合并并返回新列表的头，而无需创建任何新的额外节点。返回的列表也应进行排序”
该方法签名为：Node MergeLists（Node list1，Node list2）；
节点类如下：
class Node{
int data;
Node next;
}
我尝试了许多解决方案，但没有创建额外的节点来解决问题。请帮忙。
这是随附的博客条目http://techieme.in/merging-two-sorted-singly-linked-list/
Answers:
Node MergeLists(Node list1, Node list2) {
if (list1 == null) return list2;
if (list2 == null) return list1;
if (list1.data < list2.data) {
list1.next = MergeLists(list1.next, list2);
return list1;
} else {
list2.next = MergeLists(list2.next, list1);
return list2;
}
}
避免递归以避免分配新节点：
Node MergeLists(Node list1, Node list2) {
if (list1 == null) return list2;
if (list2 == null) return list1;
Node head;
if (list1.data < list2.data) {
head = list1;
} else {
head = list2;
list2 = list1;
list1 = head;
}
while(list1.next != null) {
if (list1.next.data > list2.data) {
Node tmp = list1.next;
list1.next = list2;
list2 = tmp;
}
list1 = list1.next;
}
list1.next = list2;
return head;
}
if (list1.next == null) list1.next = list2;可以list1.next = list2;。由于while (list1.next != null)循环刚刚终止，因此可以确定list1.next == null。
Node MergeLists(Node node1, Node node2)
{
if(node1 == null)
return node2;
else (node2 == null)
return node1;
Node head;
if(node1.data < node2.data)
{
head = node1;
node1 = node1.next;
else
{
head = node2;
node2 = node2.next;
}
Node current = head;
while((node1 != null) ||( node2 != null))
{
if (node1 == null) {
current.next = node2;
return head;
}
else if (node2 == null) {
current.next = node1;
return head;
}
if (node1.data < node2.data)
{
current.next = node1;
current = current.next;
node1 = node1.next;
}
else
{
current.next = node2;
current = current.next;
node2 = node2.next;
}
}
current.next = NULL // needed to complete the tail of the merged list
return head;
}
这是有关如何合并两个排序的链表A和B的算法：
while A not empty or B not empty:
if first element of A < first element of B:
remove first element from A
insert element into C
end if
else:
remove first element from B
insert element into C
end while
这里C将是输出列表。
看妈，没有递归！
struct llist * llist_merge(struct llist *one, struct llist *two, int (*cmp)(struct llist *l, struct llist *r) )
{
struct llist *result, **tail;
for (result=NULL, tail = &result; one && two; tail = &(*tail)->next ) {
if (cmp(one,two) <=0) { *tail = one; one=one->next; }
else { *tail = two; two=two->next; }
}
*tail = one ? one: two;
return result;
}
可以按以下方式进行迭代。复杂度= O（n）
public static LLNode mergeSortedListIteration(LLNode nodeA, LLNode nodeB) {
LLNode mergedNode ;
LLNode tempNode ;
if (nodeA == null) {
return nodeB;
}
if (nodeB == null) {
return nodeA;
}
if ( nodeA.getData() < nodeB.getData())
{
mergedNode = nodeA;
nodeA = nodeA.getNext();
}
else
{
mergedNode = nodeB;
nodeB = nodeB.getNext();
}
tempNode = mergedNode;
while (nodeA != null && nodeB != null)
{
if ( nodeA.getData() < nodeB.getData())
{
mergedNode.setNext(nodeA);
nodeA = nodeA.getNext();
}
else
{
mergedNode.setNext(nodeB);
nodeB = nodeB.getNext();
}
mergedNode = mergedNode.getNext();
}
if (nodeA != null)
{
mergedNode.setNext(nodeA);
}
if (nodeB != null)
{
mergedNode.setNext(nodeB);
}
return tempNode;
}
Node mergeList(Node h1, Node h2) {
if (h1 == null) return h2;
if (h2 == null) return h1;
Node head;
if (h1.data < h2.data) {
head = h1;
} else {
head = h2;
h2 = h1;
h1 = head;
}
while (h1.next != null && h2 != null) {
if (h1.next.data < h2.data) {
h1 = h1.next;
} else {
Node afterh2 = h2.next;
Node afterh1 = h1.next;
h1.next = h2;
h2.next = afterh1;
if (h2.next != null) {
h2 = afterh2;
}
}
}
return head;
}
这可以在不创建额外节点的情况下完成，只需将另一个Node引用传递到参数即可（Node temp）。
private static Node mergeTwoLists(Node nodeList1, Node nodeList2, Node temp) {
if(nodeList1 == null) return nodeList2;
if(nodeList2 == null) return nodeList1;
if(nodeList1.data <= nodeList2.data){
temp = nodeList1;
temp.next = mergeTwoLists(nodeList1.next, nodeList2, temp);
}
else{
temp = nodeList2;
temp.next = mergeTwoLists(nodeList1, nodeList2.next, temp);
}
return temp;
}
我想分享一下我对解决方案的看法...我看到了涉及递归的解决方案，它们非常出色，是功能和模块化思维的结果。我非常感谢分享。
我想补充一点，递归不适用于大灯，堆栈调用会溢出；所以我决定尝试迭代方法...这就是我得到的。
该代码很容易解释，我添加了一些内联注释以尝试确保这一点。
如果您不明白，请通知我，我会提高可读性（也许我对自己的代码有误导性的解释）。

一个简单的迭代解决方案。
Node* MergeLists(Node* A, Node* B)
{
//handling the corner cases
//if both lists are empty
if(!A && !B)
{
cout << "List is empty" << endl;
return 0;
}
//either of list is empty
else if(!A) return B;
else if(!B) return A;
else
{
Node* head = NULL;//this will be the head of the newList
Node* previous = NULL;//this will act as the
/* In this algorithm we will keep the
previous pointer that will point to the last node of the output list.
And, as given we have A & B as pointer to the given lists.
The algorithm will keep on going untill either one of the list become empty.
Inside of the while loop, it will divide the algorithm in two parts:
- First, if the head of the output list is not obtained yet
- Second, if head is already there then we will just compare the values and keep appending to the 'previous' pointer.
When one of the list become empty we will append the other 'left over' list to the output list.
*/
while(A && B)
{
if(!head)
{
if(A->data <= B->data)
{
head = A;//setting head of the output list to A
previous = A; //initializing previous
A = A->next;
}
else
{
head = B;//setting head of the output list to B
previous = B;//initializing previous
B = B->next;
}
}
else//when head is already set
{
if(A->data <= B->data)
{
if(previous->next != A)
previous->next = A;
A = A->next;//Moved A forward but keeping B at the same position
}
else
{
if(previous->next != B)
previous->next = B;
B = B->next; //Moved B forward but keeping A at the same position
}
previous = previous->next;//Moving the Output list pointer forward
}
}
//at the end either one of the list would finish
//and we have to append the other list to the output list
if(!A)
previous->next = B;
if(!B)
previous->next = A;
return head; //returning the head of the output list
}
}
我在下面显示一个迭代解决方案。递归解决方案会更紧凑，但是由于我们不知道列表的长度，因此递归会带来堆栈溢出的风险。
基本思想类似于合并排序中的合并步骤。我们保留一个与每个输入列表相对应的指针；在每次迭代中，我们都会前进与较小元素相对应的指针。但是，大多数人绊倒是一个关键的区别。在合并排序中，由于我们使用结果数组，因此要插入的下一个位置始终是结果数组的索引。对于链接列表，我们需要保持指向已排序列表的最后一个元素的指针。指针可能会从一个输入列表跳到另一个输入列表，具体取决于哪个对象具有当前迭代的较小元素。
这样，下面的代码应该是不言自明的。
public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
if (l1 == null) {
return l2;
}
if (l2 == null) {
return l1;
}
ListNode first = l1;
ListNode second = l2;
ListNode head = null;
ListNode last = null;
while (first != null && second != null) {
if (first.val < second.val) {
if (last != null) {
last.next = first;
}
last = first;
first = first.next;
} else {
if (last != null) {
last.next = second;
}
last = second;
second = second.next;
}
if (head == null) {
head = last;
}
}
if (first == null) {
last.next = second;
}
if (second == null) {
last.next = first;
}
return head;
}
javascript中的简单代码可将两个链接列表合并到位。
function mergeLists(l1, l2) {
let head = new ListNode(0); //dummy
let curr = head;
while(l1 && l2) {
if(l2.val >= l1.val) {
curr.next = l1;
l1 = l1.next;
} else {
curr.next = l2;
l2=l2.next
}
curr = curr.next;
}
if(!l1){
curr.next=l2;
}
if(!l2){
curr.next=l1;
}
return head.next;
}
首先，了解“不创建任何新的额外节点”的意思，据我了解，这并不意味着我不能拥有指向现有节点的指针。
如果不使用指向现有节点的指针，就无法实现它，即使使用递归实现该目标，系统也会为您创建指针作为调用堆栈。就像告诉系统添加在代码中避免使用的指针一样。
使用额外的指针即可达到相同目的的简单函数：
typedef struct _LLNode{
int value;
struct _LLNode* next;
}LLNode;
LLNode* CombineSortedLists(LLNode* a,LLNode* b){
if(NULL == a){
return b;
}
if(NULL == b){
return a;
}
LLNode* root = NULL;
if(a->value < b->value){
root = a;
a = a->next;
}
else{
root = b;
b = b->next;
}
LLNode* curr = root;
while(1){
if(a->value < b->value){
curr->next = a;
curr = a;
a=a->next;
if(NULL == a){
curr->next = b;
break;
}
}
else{
curr->next = b;
curr = b;
b=b->next;
if(NULL == b){
curr->next = a;
break;
}
}
}
return root;
}
Node * merge_sort(Node *a, Node *b){
Node *result = NULL;
if(a == NULL)
return b;
else if(b == NULL)
return a;
/* For the first node, we would set the result to either a or b */
if(a->data <= b->data){
result = a;
/* Result's next will point to smaller one in lists
starting at a->next and b */
result->next = merge_sort(a->next,b);
}
else {
result = b;
/*Result's next will point to smaller one in lists
starting at a and b->next */
result->next = merge_sort(a,b->next);
}
return result;
}

这是一个使用链表实现的java.util的完整工作示例。您可以将以下代码复制粘贴到main（）方法中。
LinkedList<Integer> dList1 = new LinkedList<Integer>();
LinkedList<Integer> dList2 = new LinkedList<Integer>();
LinkedList<Integer> dListMerged = new LinkedList<Integer>();
dList1.addLast(1);
dList1.addLast(8);
dList1.addLast(12);
dList1.addLast(15);
dList1.addLast(85);
dList2.addLast(2);
dList2.addLast(3);
dList2.addLast(12);
dList2.addLast(24);
dList2.addLast(85);
dList2.addLast(185);
int i = 0;
int y = 0;
int dList1Size = dList1.size();
int dList2Size = dList2.size();
int list1Item = dList1.get(i);
int list2Item = dList2.get(y);
while (i < dList1Size || y < dList2Size) {
if (i < dList1Size) {
if (list1Item <= list2Item || y >= dList2Size) {
dListMerged.addLast(list1Item);
i++;
if (i < dList1Size) {
list1Item = dList1.get(i);
}
}
}
if (y < dList2Size) {
if (list2Item <= list1Item || i >= dList1Size) {
dListMerged.addLast(list2Item);
y++;
if (y < dList2Size) {
list2Item = dList2.get(y);
}
}
}
}
for(int x:dListMerged)
{
System.out.println(x);
}
递归方式（Stefan答案的变体）
MergeList(Node nodeA, Node nodeB ){
if(nodeA==null){return nodeB};
if(nodeB==null){return nodeA};
if(nodeB.data<nodeA.data){
Node returnNode = MergeNode(nodeA,nodeB.next);
nodeB.next = returnNode;
retturn nodeB;
}else{
Node returnNode = MergeNode(nodeA.next,nodeB);
nodeA.next=returnNode;
return nodeA;
}
考虑以下链接列表以可视化此
2>4清单A
1>3 清单B
答案几乎与Stefan相同（非递归），但注释/有意义的变量名很少。如果有人感兴趣，还可以在评论中包括双链表
考虑例子
5->10->15>21 // List1
2->3->6->20 //List2
Node MergeLists(List list1, List list2) {
if (list1 == null) return list2;
if (list2 == null) return list1;
if(list1.head.data>list2.head.data){
listB =list2; // loop over this list as its head is smaller
listA =list1;
} else {
listA =list2; // loop over this list
listB =list1;
}
listB.currentNode=listB.head;
listA.currentNode=listA.head;
while(listB.currentNode!=null){
if(listB.currentNode.data<listA.currentNode.data){
Node insertFromNode = listB.currentNode.prev;
Node startingNode = listA.currentNode;
Node temp = inserFromNode.next;
inserFromNode.next = startingNode;
startingNode.next=temp;
startingNode.next.prev= startingNode; // for doubly linked list
startingNode.prev=inserFromNode; // for doubly linked list
listB.currentNode= listB.currentNode.next;
listA.currentNode= listA.currentNode.next;
}
else
{
listB.currentNode= listB.currentNode.next;
}
}
我对这个问题的看法如下：
伪代码：
Compare the two heads A and B.
If A <= B, then add A and move the head of A to the next node.
Similarly, if B < A, then add B and move the head of B to the next node B.
If both A and B are NULL then stop and return.
If either of them is NULL, then traverse the non null head till it becomes NULL.
码：
public Node mergeLists(Node headA, Node headB) {
Node merge = null;
// If we have reached the end, then stop.
while (headA != null || headB != null) {
// if B is null then keep appending A, else check if value of A is lesser or equal than B
if (headB == null || (headA != null && headA.data <= headB.data)) {
// Add the new node, handle addition separately in a new method.
merge = add(merge, headA.data);
// Since A is <= B, Move head of A to next node
headA = headA.next;
// if A is null then keep appending B, else check if value of B is lesser than A
} else if (headA == null || (headB != null && headB.data < headA.data)) {
// Add the new node, handle addition separately in a new method.
merge = add(merge, headB.data);
// Since B is < A, Move head of B to next node
headB = headB.next;
}
}
return merge;
}
public Node add(Node head, int data) {
Node end = new Node(data);
if (head == null) {
return end;
}
Node curr = head;
while (curr.next != null) {
curr = curr.next;
}
curr.next = end;
return head;
