答案：

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * public class ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;
 *     ListNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public ListNode mergeKLists(ListNode[] lists) {
        if(lists.length==0)
            return null;
        return helper(lists, 0 , lists.length-1);

    }

    ListNode helper(ListNode[] lists, int l , int r){
        //[l...r];
        if(l == r)
            return lists[l];
        int mid = l+(r-l)/2;
        ListNode left = helper(lists,l,mid);
        ListNode right = helper(lists,mid+1,r);
        return merge(left,right);

    }

    ListNode merge(ListNode left, ListNode right){
        ListNode dummyHead = new ListNode(0),cur;
        cur = dummyHead;

        while(left!=null || right!=null){

                }
            }else if(left==null){
