题目链接:Merge Two Sorted Lists

Merge two sorted linked lists and return it as a new list. The new list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.

这道题的要求是将两个已经排好序的链表合并成1个有序链表。

这道题的思路比较简单,主要就是考察链表的处理。这里还是像Remove Nth Node From End of List一样先在链表前面加头,这样可以免去对链表头的特殊处理。接下来就是每次取两个链表前面较小的元素,直到有链表到达结尾。最后再将没有到达结尾的链表直接链接到合并的链表的后面,并返回合并后链表头后面的节点指针即可。

时间复杂度:O(n)

空间复杂度:O(1)
