本文介绍了一种高效解决LeetCode上“合并K个有序链表”问题的方法，通过使用分治算法，将复杂度优化至O(nlogk)，避免了两两合并时可能出现的超时情况。

思路

一个简单的思路是把k个数组两两相加，但这样会超时，所以采用分治算法。合并两个数组的复杂度是O(n)的话，总的复杂度应该是O(nlog k)

AC代码

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode(object):
#     def __init__(self, x):
#         self.val = x
#         self.next = None
