LeetCode - Add Two Numbers

1 minute read

Problem description

description

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order and each of their nodes contain a single digit. Add the two numbers and return it as a linked list.

You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.

Example:

1
2
3
Input: (2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 0 -> 8
Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807.

Analysis

the first thought is to use a loop to iterate all nodes of two pointer, which is the standard solution

Here’s the code:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16

public ListNode addTwoNumbers(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
    ListNode dummy = new ListNode(0);
    ListNode p = dummy;
    int pre = 0;
    while (l1 != null || l2 != null) {
      int v1 = l1 == null ? 0 : l1.val;
      int v2 = l2 == null ? 0 : l2.val;
      int sum = v1 + v2 + pre;
      pre = sum / 10;
      ListNode next = new ListNode(sum % 10);
      p.next = next;
      p = p.next;

      if (l1 != null){
        l1 = l1.next;
      }

      if (l2 != null){
        l2 = l2.next;
      }
    }

    // missing this part get 1 WA
    if (pre != 0){
      p.next = new ListNode(1);
    }

    return dummy.next;
  }

What to improve

  • forget to deal with the edge case(the last pre = 1), need to think more carefully before submission
