花花酱 LeetCode 876. Middle of the Linked List

Problem

Given a non-empty, singly linked list with head node head, return a middle node of linked list.

If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: Node 3 from this list (Serialization: [3,4,5])
The returned node has value 3.  (The judge's serialization of this node is [3,4,5]).
Note that we returned a ListNode object ans, such that:
ans.val = 3, ans.next.val = 4, ans.next.next.val = 5, and ans.next.next.next = NULL.

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: Node 4 from this list (Serialization: [4,5,6])
Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one.

 

Note:

  • The number of nodes in the given list will be between 1 and 100.

Solution: Slow + Fast Pointers

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(1)

 

花花酱 LeetCode 148. Sort List

Problem

Example 2:

Input: -1->5->3->4->0
Output: -1->0->3->4->5

Solution: Merge Sort

花花酱 LeetCode 2. Add Two Numbers

Problem

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order and each of their nodes contain a single digit. Add the two numbers and return it as a linked list.

You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.

Example

Input: (2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 0 -> 8
Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807.

Solution: Simulation

Simulate the addition, draw two numbers (one each) from l1, l2, if list is empty draw 0.

Using a dummy head makes things easier.

Time complexity: O(max(l1,l2))

Space complexity: O(max(l1,l2))

C++

Java

花花酱 LeetCode 445. Add Two Numbers II

Problem

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The most significant digit comes first and each of their nodes contain a single digit. Add the two numbers and return it as a linked list.

You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.

Follow up:
What if you cannot modify the input lists? In other words, reversing the lists is not allowed.

Example:

Input: (7 -> 2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 8 -> 0 -> 7

Solution: Simulation

Using a stack to “reverse” the list. Simulate the addition digit by digit.

Time complexity: O(l1 + l2)

Space complexity: O(l1 + l2)

C++

花花酱 LeetCode 817. Linked List Components

Problem

题目大意:给你一个链表,再给你一些合法的节点,问你链表中有多少个连通分量(所有节点必须合法)。

https://leetcode.com/problems/linked-list-components/description/

We are given head, the head node of a linked list containing unique integer values.

We are also given the list G, a subset of the values in the linked list.

Return the number of connected components in G, where two values are connected if they appear consecutively in the linked list.

Example 1:

Input: 
head: 0->1->2->3
G = [0, 1, 3]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
0 and 1 are connected, so [0, 1] and [3] are the two connected components.

Example 2:

Input: 
head: 0->1->2->3->4
G = [0, 3, 1, 4]
Output: 2
Explanation: 
0 and 1 are connected, 3 and 4 are connected, so [0, 1] and [3, 4] are the two connected components.

Note:

  • If N is the length of the linked list given by head1 <= N <= 10000.
  • The value of each node in the linked list will be in the range [0, N - 1].
  • 1 <= G.length <= 10000.
  • G is a subset of all values in the linked list.

Solution1: Graph Traversal using DFS

Solution 2: Count tail node in sub graph
