Question Definition
Sort a linked list in O(n log n) time using constant space complexity.
Java Solution
class Solution {
public ListNode sortList(ListNode head) {
if (head == null || head.next == null) return head;
ListNode slow = head, fast = head, pre = head;
while (fast != null && fast.next != null) {
pre = slow;
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next.next;
}
pre.next = null;
return merge(sortList(head), sortList(slow));
}
public ListNode merge(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
ListNode dummy = new ListNode(-1);
ListNode cur = dummy;
while (l1 != null && l2 != null) {
if (l1.val < l2.val) {
cur.next = l1;
l1 = l1.next;
} else {
cur.next = l2;
l2 = l2.next;
}
cur = cur.next;
}
if (l1 != null) cur.next = l1;
if (l2 != null) cur.next = l2;
return dummy.next;
}
}
