Sort a linked list in O(n log n) time using constant space complexity.
Example 1:
Input: 4->2->1->3 Output: 1->2->3->4
Example 2:
Input: -1->5->3->4->0 Output: -1->0->3->4->5
给一个链表排序,要求Time: O(nlogn), constant space complexity.
解法:1. 把链表从中间分开Break the list to two in the middle. 2. 递归排序两个子链表Recursively sort the two sub lists. 3. 合并子链表Merge the two sub lists.
解法:归并排序。由于有时间和空间复杂度的要求。把链表从中间分开,递归下去,都最后两个node时开始合并,返回上一层继续合并,直到结束。找中间点的方法可以用快慢指针,快指针走2步,慢指针走1步。也可以求出链表长度,再分开链表

public class Solution {

pre = slow;
slow = slow.next;
fast = fast.next.next;
}
pre.next = null;
return merge(sortList(head), sortList(slow));
