160. Intersection of Two Linked Lists(Linked List-Easy)
160. Intersection of Two Linked Lists(Linked List-Easy)
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.
题目：写一个程序找出两个单链表的交叉节点。 思路：单链表A和单链表B，交叉点后的部分是一样的，也就是说长度是一样的，如上所示：c1 → c2 → c3。所以，将单链表A和单链表B相差的部分去掉，依次对应比较等长的部分即可。在计算两个链表的长度之后，比较两个链表的尾节点是否一样，如果不一样说明没有交叉节点，返回NULL。
