Write a program to find the node at which the intersection of two singly linked lists begins.

For example, the following two linked lists:

A: a1 → a2↘c1 → c2 → c3↗ B: b1 → b2 → b3

begin to intersect at node c1.

Notes:

If the two linked lists have no intersection at all, return null.
The linked lists must retain their original structure after the function returns.
You may assume there are no cycles anywhere in the entire linked structure.
Your code should preferably run in O(n) time and use only O(1) memory.

因為受上面一個問題影響Java單鏈表逆轉(zhuǎn)所以我想著先逆轉(zhuǎn)后求后面的子串，其實想多了，只要有一個公共的就當時后面的全部是公共。

解法一:
第一遍循環(huán)，找出兩個鏈表的長度差N
第二遍循環(huán)，長鏈表先走N步，然后同時移動，判斷是否有相同節(jié)點
解法一就相對簡單粗暴，容易理解。

/** * Definition for singly-linked list. * public class ListNode { * int val; * ListNode next; * ListNode(int x) { * val = x; * next = null; * } * } */ public class Solution { public ListNode getIntersectionNode(ListNode headA, ListNode headB) { if(headA==null || headB==null) return null; ListNode p = headA; ListNode q = headB; int pcount = 0; int qcount = 0; while(p.next != null || q.next != null) { if(p == q) return p; if(p.next != null) p = p.next; else ++qcount; if(q.next != null) q = q.next; else ++pcount; } if(p != q) return null; p = headA; q = headB; while(pcount-- != 0) { p = p.next; } while(qcount-- != 0) { q = q.next; } while(p != q) { p = p.next; q = q.next; } return p; } }

解法二:
鏈表到尾部后,跳到另一個鏈表的頭部, 另外一個鏈表的引用移到最后，此時跳過來的引用所在點就為第二個鏈表的開始點，然后再次一起遍歷，相遇即為intersection points.

/** * Definition for singly-linked list. * public class ListNode { * int val; * ListNode next; * ListNode(int x) { * val = x; * next = null; * } * } */ public class Solution { public ListNode getIntersectionNode(ListNode headA, ListNode headB) { if(headA==null || headB==null) return null; ListNode p = headA; ListNode q = headB; if(p == q) return p; while(p!=null && q!=null) { p = p.next; q = q.next; } if(p==null) p = headB; else q = headA; while(p!=null && q!=null) { p = p.next; q = q.next; } if(p==null) p = headB; else q = headA; while(p!=null && q!=null) { if(p==q) return p; p = p.next; q = q.next; } return null; } }

就是先一起移動，如果一個到頭了，就指向另一個的頭，另一個到尾了，就說明這個指向的就是下次一起開始的地方。

解法三：
用兩個引用，一個快一個慢，快的每次移動兩個節(jié)點，當。。。。。。。。。。。我以為我理解了，其實沒理解，然后去打斷點調(diào)試就發(fā)現(xiàn)出問題了，不過leetcode上面顯示Accept！很奇怪，先貼個代碼，等以后問問別人。

public ListNode getIntersectionNode(ListNode headA, ListNode headB) {if (headA == null || headB == null) {return null;}// get the tail of list A.ListNode node = headA;while (node.next != null) {node = node.next;}node.next = headB;ListNode result = listCycleII(headA);node.next = null;return result;}private ListNode listCycleII(ListNode head) {ListNode slow = head, fast = head.next;while (slow != fast) {if (fast == null || fast.next == null) {return null;}slow = slow.next;fast = fast.next.next;}slow = head;fast = fast.next;while (slow != fast) {slow = slow.next;fast = fast.next;}return slow;}

總結(jié)
