Given a list, rotate the list to the right by k places, where k is non-negative.
For example:
Given 1->2->3->4->5->NULL
and k = 2
,
return 4->5->1->2->3->NULL
.
这道旋转链表的题和之前那道 Rotate Array 旋转数组 很类似,但是比那道要难一些,因为链表的值不能通过下表来访问,只能一个一个的走,我刚开始拿到这题首先想到的就是用快慢指针来解,快指针先走k步,然后两个指针一起走,当快指针走到末尾时,慢指针的下一个位置是新的顺序的头结点,这样就可以旋转链表了,自信满满的写完程序,放到OJ上跑,以为能一次通过,结果跪在了各种特殊情况,首先一个就是当原链表为空时,直接返回NULL,还有就是当k大于链表长度和k远远大于链表长度时该如何处理,我们需要首先遍历一遍原链表得到链表长度n,然后k对n取余,这样k肯定小于n,就可以用上面的算法了,代码如下:
解法一
class Solution { public: ListNode *rotateRight(ListNode *head, int k) { if (!head) return NULL; int n = 0; ListNode *cur = head; while (cur) { ++n; cur = cur->next; } k %= n; ListNode *fast = head, *slow = head; for (int i = 0; i < k; ++i) { if (fast) fast = fast->next; } if (!fast) return head; while (fast->next) { fast = fast->next; slow = slow->next; } fast->next = head; fast = slow->next; slow->next = NULL; return fast; } };
这道题还有一种解法,跟上面的方法类似,但是不用快慢指针,一个指针就够了,原理是先遍历整个链表获得链表长度n,然后此时把链表头和尾链接起来,在往后走n - k % n个节点就到达新链表的头结点前一个点,这时断开链表即可,代码如下:
class Solution { public: ListNode *rotateRight(ListNode *head, int k) { if (!head) return NULL; int n = 1; ListNode *cur = head; while (cur->next) { ++n; cur = cur->next; } cur->next = head; int m = n - k % n; for (int i = 0; i < m; ++i) { cur = cur->next; } ListNode *newhead = cur->next; cur->next = NULL; return newhead; } };
