[LeetCode] 86. Partition List 划分链表

Given a linked list and a value x, partition it such that all nodes less than x come before nodes greater than or equal to x.

You should preserve the original relative order of the nodes in each of the two partitions.

Example:

Input: head = 1->4->3->2->5->2, x = 3
Output: 1->2->2->4->3->5

给一个链表和一个x值，划分链表，把所有小于x值的节点都移到大于等于x值的前面，两部分的节点顺序不变。

解法：维护两个queue，一个存小于x值的，一个存大于等于x值的，最后在把两个连在一起。记得把大于等于的最后加上null。

Java:

public ListNode partition(ListNode head, int x) {
    ListNode dummy1 = new ListNode(0), dummy2 = new ListNode(0);  //dummy heads of the 1st and 2nd queues
    ListNode curr1 = dummy1, curr2 = dummy2;      //current tails of the two queues;
    while (head!=null){
        if (head.val<x) {
            curr1.next = head;
            curr1 = head;
        }else {
            curr2.next = head;
            curr2 = head;
        }
        head = head.next;
    }
    curr2.next = null;          //important! avoid cycle in linked list. otherwise u will get TLE.
    curr1.next = dummy2.next;
    return dummy1.next;
}

Python:

# Time:  O(n)
# Space: O(1)
class ListNode(object):
    def __init__(self, x):
        self.val = x
        self.next = None

    def __repr__(self):
        if self:
            return "{} -> {}".format(self.val, repr(self.next))

class Solution(object):
    # @param head, a ListNode
    # @param x, an integer
    # @return a ListNode
    def partition(self, head, x):
        dummySmaller, dummyGreater = ListNode(-1), ListNode(-1)
        smaller, greater = dummySmaller, dummyGreater

        while head:
            if head.val < x:
                smaller.next = head
                smaller = smaller.next
            else:
                greater.next = head
                greater = greater.next
            head = head.next

        smaller.next = dummyGreater.next
        greater.next = None

        return dummySmaller.next

C++:

// Time:  O(n)
// Space: O(1)
/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    ListNode *partition(ListNode *head, int x) {
        ListNode dummy_smaller{0};
        ListNode dummy_larger{0};
        auto smaller = &dummy_smaller;
        auto larger = &dummy_larger;

        while (head) {
            if (head->val < x) {
                smaller->next = head;
                smaller = smaller->next;
            } else {
                larger->next = head;
                larger = larger->next;
            }
            head = head->next;
        }
        smaller->next = dummy_larger.next;
        larger->next = nullptr;

        return dummy_smaller.next;
    }
};

C++:

ListNode *partition(ListNode *head, int x) {
    ListNode node1(0), node2(0);
    ListNode *p1 = &node1, *p2 = &node2;
    while (head) {
        if (head->val < x)
            p1 = p1->next = head;
        else
            p2 = p2->next = head;
        head = head->next;
    }
    p2->next = NULL;
    p1->next = node2.next;
    return node1.next;
}
