Sort List
Sort a linked list in O(n log n) time using constant space complexity.
// 歸並排序法:在動手之前一直覺得空間復雜度為常量不太可能,因為原來使用歸並時,都是 O(N)的,需要復制出相等的空間來進行賦值歸並。對於鏈表,實際上是可以實現常數空間占用的。
class Solution { public: ListNode *sortList(ListNode *head) { if(!head||!head->next) return head; return mergeSort(head); } ListNode * mergeSort(ListNode *head){ if(!head||!head->next) //just one element return head; ListNode *p=head, *q=head, *pre=NULL; while(q&&q->next!=NULL){ q=q->next->next; pre=p; p=p->next; //divide into two parts } pre->next=NULL; ListNode *lhalf=mergeSort(head); ListNode *rhalf=mergeSort(p); //recursive return merge(lhalf, rhalf); //merge } ListNode * merge(ListNode *lh, ListNode *rh){ ListNode *temp=new ListNode(0); ListNode *p=temp; while(lh&&rh){ if(lh->val<=rh->val){ p->next=lh; lh=lh->next; } else{ p->next=rh; rh=rh->next; } p=p->next; } if(!lh) p->next=rh; else p->next=lh; p=temp->next; temp->next=NULL; delete temp; return p; } };
