You are given two linked lists representing two non-negative numbers. 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.
Input: (2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 0 -> 8
Analysis
The idea is simple, add each element of two list with the help of a variable "carry". When both of the lists meet their end, return result.
The key point is to check the carry before return, if carry = 1 the highest bit should be 1, that means add a new node with value "1" to the result list.
e.g. (9->null) + (1->null) = (0->1->null)
Java
public ListNode addTwoNumbers(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
ListNode res = new ListNode(-1);
ListNode head = res;
int carry = 0;
while(l1!=null || l2!=null){
int a1 = l1==null ? 0:l1.val;
int b1 = l2==null ? 0:l2.val;
int temp = carry+a1+b1;
carry = temp/10;
ListNode cur = new ListNode(temp%10);
head.next = cur;
head = head.next;
l1 = l1==null ? null:l1.next;
l2 = l2==null ? null:l2.next;
}
if(carry>0)
head.next = new ListNode(carry);
return res.next;
}
