【问题描述】:
问题是找到两个排序链表的交集并将公共元素存储在第三个链表中。
我的方法是创建临时指针 temp1 和 temp2 分别初始化为 head1(列表 1 的头部)和 head2(列表 2 的头部)。然后遍历两个列表并比较元素和相应地移动temp1 和temp2。代码工作正常。
测试用例: 第一个链表=> 1->2->3->4->6 第二个链表是 2->4->6->8,那么函数应该创建并返回第三个链表为 2->4->6。
但我对什么是时间复杂度感到困惑:O(m+n) 还是 O(min(m,n))? (m,n 是列表 1 和列表 2 中元素的数量)。
我的代码:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
/* Link list node */
struct Node
{
int data;
struct Node* next;
};
void append(struct Node** head_ref, int new_data)
{
/* 1. allocate node */
struct Node* new_node = (struct Node*) malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
struct Node *last = *head_ref; /* used in step 5*/
/* 2. put in the data */
new_node->data = new_data;
/* 3. This new node is going to be the last node, so make next
of it as NULL*/
new_node->next = NULL;
/* 4. If the Linked List is empty, then make the new node as head */
if (*head_ref == NULL)
{
*head_ref = new_node;
return;
}
/* 5. Else traverse till the last node */
while (last->next != NULL)
last = last->next;
/* 6. Change the next of last node */
last->next = new_node;
return;
}
struct Node* sortedIntersect(struct Node* head1,struct Node*head2)
{
struct Node*head3=NULL;
struct Node*temp1=head1;
struct Node*temp2=head2;
while(temp1!=NULL&&temp2!=NULL)
{
if(temp1->data<temp2->data)
{if(temp1->next!=NULL)
temp1=temp1->next;
else
break;
}
else if(temp1->data>temp2->data)
{
if(temp2->next!=NULL)
temp2=temp2->next;
else{
break;
}
}
else
{
append(&head3,temp1->data);
temp1=temp1->next;
temp2=temp2->next;
}
}
return head3;
}
/* Function to insert a node at the beginging of the linked list */
void push(struct Node** head_ref, int new_data)
{
/* allocate node */
struct Node* new_node = (struct Node*) malloc(sizeof(struct Node));
/* put in the data */
new_node->data = new_data;
/* link the old list off the new node */
new_node->next = (*head_ref);
/* move the head to point to the new node */
(*head_ref) = new_node;
}
/* Function to print nodes in a given linked list */
void printList(struct Node *node)
{
while (node != NULL)
{
printf("%d ", node->data);
node = node->next;
}
}
int main()
{
/* Start with the empty lists */
struct Node* a = NULL;
struct Node* b = NULL;
struct Node *intersect = NULL;
/* Let us create the first sorted linked list to test the functions
Created linked list will be 1->2->3->4->5->6 */
push(&a, 6);
push(&a, 5);
push(&a, 4);
push(&a, 3);
push(&a, 2);
push(&a, 1);
/* Let us create the second sorted linked list
Created linked list will be 2->4->6->8 */
push(&b, 8);
push(&b, 6);
push(&b, 4);
push(&b, 2);
/* Find the intersection two linked lists */
intersect = sortedIntersect(a, b);
printf("\n Linked list containing common items of a & b \n ");
printList(intersect);
return 0;
}
