21. merge two sorted lists

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.

Example:

1
2
Input: 1->2->4, 1->3->4
Output: 1->1->2->3->4->4

合并两条已排序的链表,返回新链表,新链表必须包含两个链表的所有节点。

分析:涉及到头节点的操作,删除或者更改新增,都可以考虑创建一个dummy = new ListNode(0),最后返回dummy.next,逻辑上不容易出错。详细代码如下:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
