Merge Two Sorted Lists
最新更新请见:https://yanjia.me/zh/2019/01/…
Merge two sorted linked lists and return it as a new list. The new list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.
依次拼接
复杂度
时间 O(N) 空间 O(1)
思路
该题就是简单的把两个链表的节点拼接起来,我们可以用一个Dummy头,将比较过后的节点接在这个Dummy头之后。最后如果有没比较完的,说明另一个list的值全比这个list剩下的小,而且拼完了,所以可以把剩下的直接全部接上去。
代码
public class Solution {
public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
// 创建一个dummy头,从后面开始接
ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
ListNode curr = dummy;
// 依次比较拼接
while(l1 != null && l2 != null){
if(l1.val <= l2.val){
curr.next = l1;
l1 = l1.next;
} else {
curr.next = l2;
l2 = l2.next;
}
curr = curr.next;
}
// 把剩余的全拼上去
if(l1 == null){
curr.next = l2;
} else if (l2 == null){
curr.next = l1;
}
return dummy.next;
}
}
Merge k Sorted Lists
最新解法请见:https://yanjia.me/zh/2019/01/…
Merge k sorted linked lists and return it as one sorted list. Analyze and describe its complexity.
Example:Input: [ 1->4->5, 1->3->4, 2->6 ] Output: 1->1->2->3->4->4->5->6
优先队列
复杂度
时间 O(NlogK) 空间 O(K)
思路
当我们归并k个列表时,最简单的方法就是,对于每次插入,我们遍历这K个列表的最前面的元素,找出K个中最小的再加入到结果中。不过如果我们用一个优先队列(堆),将这K个元素加入再找堆顶元素,每次插入只要logK的复杂度。当拿出堆顶元素后,我们再将它所在链表的下一个元素拿出来,放到堆中。这样直到所有链表都被拿完,归并也就完成了。
注意
因为堆中是链表节点,我们在初始化堆时还要新建一个Comparator的类。
代码
Java
public class Solution {
public ListNode mergeKLists(ListNode[] lists) {
if(lists.length == 0) return null;
ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
PriorityQueue<ListNode> q = new PriorityQueue<ListNode>(11, new Comparator<ListNode>(){
public int compare(ListNode n1, ListNode n2){
return n1.val - n2.val;
}
});
// 初始化大小为k的堆
for(int i = 0; i < lists.length; i++){
if(lists[i] != null) q.offer(lists[i]);
}
ListNode curr = dummy;
while(!q.isEmpty()){
// 拿出堆顶元素
curr.next = q.poll();
curr = curr.next;
// 将堆顶元素的下一个加入堆中
if(curr.next != null){
q.offer(curr.next);
}
}
return dummy.next;
}
}
Python
class HeapItem:
def __init__(self, node):
self.node = node
self.val = node.val
def __lt__(self, other):

class Solution:
def mergeKLists(self, lists):

heap = []
for node in lists:

heap.append(HeapItem(node))
heapify(heap)
dummy = ListNode(0)
head = dummy
while len(heap) != 0:
item = heappop(heap)
node = item.node
head.next = node
head = head.next
if node.next is not None:
