Solution: Intersection of Two Linked Lists

Explore how to find the intersection node of two singly linked lists using a two-pointer approach. This lesson teaches you to align traversal paths without calculating list lengths, optimizing for time and space complexity to solve the problem efficiently.

Statement

You are given the heads of two singly linked lists, headA and headB, to determine whether the two lists intersect. If they intersect, return the node where the intersection begins. Otherwise, return NULL.

Note: Linked lists intersect if they share a common node in memory, not just a node with the same value.

Constraints:

  • 11 ≤ node.val 105≤ 10^5

  • The number of nodes of listAlistA is in the mm.

  • The number of nodes of listBlistB is in the nn ...
