[刷题] LinkedList - Leetcode - 876 Middle of the Linked List

Posted by 西维蜀黍的OJ Blog on 2019-07-17, Last Modified on 2019-07-17

Problem

Given a non-empty, singly linked list with head node head, return a middle node of linked list.

If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: Node 3 from this list (Serialization: [3,4,5])
The returned node has value 3.  (The judge's serialization of this node is [3,4,5]).
Note that we returned a ListNode object ans, such that:
ans.val = 3, ans.next.val = 4, ans.next.next.val = 5, and ans.next.next.next = NULL.

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: Node 4 from this list (Serialization: [4,5,6])
Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one.

Note:

  • The number of nodes in the given list will be between 1 and 100.

Solution

解题思路:快慢指针,慢的走一步,快的走两步,当快指针到达尾节点时,慢指针移动到中间节点。

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode middleNode(ListNode head) {
        ListNode fast = head;
        ListNode slow = head;
        
        while(fast != null && fast.next!=null){
            fast = fast.next.next;
            slow = slow.next;      
        }
        return slow;
        
    }
}
