将两个升序链表合并为一个新的升序链表并返回。新链表是通过拼接给定的两个链表的所有节点组成的。

示例：

  1. 输入：1->2->4, 1->3->4
  2. 输出：1->1->2->3->4->4

题解

这题比较简单，只要会写链表就没什么问题

Python

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None

class Solution:
    def mergeTwoLists(self, l1: ListNode, l2: ListNode) -> ListNode:
        # 将一个哑节点作为头节点，最后返回哑节点的next
        res=ListNode(None)
        node=res
        while l1 and l2:
            if l1.val<=l2.val:
                node.next=l1
                l1=l1.next
            else:
                node.next=l2
                l2=l2.next
            node=node.next
        if l1:
            node.next=l1
        else:
            node.next=l2
        return res.next

除此之外，还有一些其他方法：

递归

Python

    def mergeTwoLists(self, l1, l2):
        if l1 is None:
            return l2
        elif l2 is None:
            return l1
        elif l1.val < l2.val:
            l1.next = self.mergeTwoLists(l1.next, l2)
            return l1
        else:
            l2.next = self.mergeTwoLists(l1, l2.next)
            return l2

JavaScript

var mergeTwoLists = function(l1, l2) {
    if (l1 === null) {
        return l2;
    } else if (l2 === null) {
        return l1;
    } else if (l1.val < l2.val) {
        l1.next = mergeTwoLists(l1.next, l2);
        return l1;
    } else {
        l2.next = mergeTwoLists(l1, l2.next);
        return l2;
    }
};

迭代

Python

class Solution:
    def mergeTwoLists(self, l1, l2):
        prehead = ListNode(-1)

        prev = prehead
        while l1 and l2:
            if l1.val <= l2.val:
                prev.next = l1
                l1 = l1.next
            else:
                prev.next = l2
                l2 = l2.next            
            prev = prev.next

        # 合并后 l1 和 l2 最多只有一个还未被合并完，我们直接将链表末尾指向未合并完的链表即可
        prev.next = l1 if l1 is not None else l2

        return prehead.next

JavaScript

var mergeTwoLists = function(l1, l2) {
    const prehead = new ListNode(-1);

    let prev = prehead;
    while (l1 != null && l2 != null) {
        if (l1.val <= l2.val) {
            prev.next = l1;
            l1 = l1.next;
        } else {
            prev.next = l2;
            l2 = l2.next;
        }
        prev = prev.next;
    }

    // 合并后 l1 和 l2 最多只有一个还未被合并完，我们直接将链表末尾指向未合并完的链表即可
    prev.next = l1 === null ? l2 : l1;

    return prehead.next;
};
