合并两个排序的链表,使合并列表的顺序相反

原文:https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/merge-two-sorted-linked-lists-such-that-merged-list-is-in-reverse-order/

给定两个链表,以递增顺序排序。 合并它们,使结果列表按降序排列(反向排列)。

例子:

Input:  a: 5->10->15->40
        b: 2->3->20 
Output: res: 40->20->15->10->5->3->2

Input:  a: NULL
        b: 2->3->20 
Output: res: 20->3->2

简单解决方案要执行以下操作。

  1. 反转第一个列表"a"

  2. 反转第二个列表"b"

  3. 合并两个反转列表

另一个简单的解决方案是首先合并两个列表,然后反转合并的列表。

以上两种解决方案都需要两次遍历链表。

如何求解不带反转,O(1)辅助空间(原地)并且仅一次遍历两个列表?

这个想法是遵循合并样式的过程。 将结果列表初始化为空。 从头到尾遍历两个列表。 比较两个列表的当前节点,并在结果列表的开头插入两个中较小的一个。

1) Initialize result list as empty: res = NULL.
2) Let 'a' and 'b' be heads first and second lists respectively.
3) While (a != NULL and b != NULL)
    a) Find the smaller of two (Current 'a' and 'b')
    b) Insert the smaller value node at the front of result.
    c) Move ahead in the list of smaller node. 
4) If 'b' becomes NULL before 'a', insert all nodes of 'a' 
   into result list at the beginning.
5) If 'a' becomes NULL before 'b', insert all nodes of 'a' 
   into result list at the beginning. 

下面是上述解决方案的实现。

输出

List A before merge: 
5 10 15 
List B before merge: 
2 3 20 
Merged Linked List is: 
20 15 10 5 3 2 

此解决方案仅遍历两个列表,不需要反向,并且可以原地工作。
