876. Middle of the Linked List
Given a non-empty, singly linked list with head node head, return a middle node of linked list.
If there are two middle nodes, return the second middle node.
Example 1:
Input: [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: Node 3 from this list (Serialization: [3,4,5])
The returned node has value 3. (The judge's serialization of this node is [3,4,5]).
Note that we returned a ListNode object ans, such that:
ans.val = 3, ans.next.val = 4, ans.next.next.val = 5, and ans.next.next.next = NULL.
Example 2:
Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: Node 4 from this list (Serialization: [4,5,6])
Since the list has two middle nodes with values 3 and 4, we return the second one.
解法
解決思路:fast快, slow慢兩個鏈表同時走, fast走兩步,slow走一步。當fast爲null時,則slow剛好在中間位置。
比如:[1,2,3,4,5]
第0步: slow 1, fast 1
第1步: slow 2, fast 3
第2步: slow 3, fast 5
