02.05. Sum Lists

Description

You have two numbers represented by a linked list, where each node contains a single digit. The digits are stored in reverse order, such that the 1's digit is at the head of the list. Write a function that adds the two numbers and returns the sum as a linked list.

Example:


Input: (7 -> 1 -> 6) + (5 -> 9 -> 2). That is, 617 + 295.

Output: 2 -> 1 -> 9. That is, 912.

Follow Up: Suppose the digits are stored in forward order. Repeat the above problem.

Example:


Input: (6 -> 1 -> 7) + (2 -> 9 -> 5). That is, 617 + 295.

Output: 9 -> 1 -> 2. That is, 912.

Solutions

Solution 1: Simulation

We traverse two linked lists $l_1$ and $l_2$ simultaneously, and use a variable $carry$ to indicate whether there is a carry-over currently.

During each traversal, we take out the current digit of the corresponding linked list, calculate the sum of them and the carry-over $carry$, then update the value of the carry-over, and finally add the value of the current digit to the answer linked list. The traversal ends when both linked lists have been traversed and the carry-over is $0$.

Finally, we return the head node of the answer linked list.

The time complexity is $O(\max(m, n))$, where $m$ and $n$ are the lengths of the two linked lists respectively. We need to traverse all positions of the two linked lists, and it only takes $O(1)$ time to process each position. Ignoring the space consumption of the answer, the space complexity is $O(1)$.
