Problem: Intersection of Two Linked Lists

Easy
15 min
Explore the two pointers technique to solve the problem of determining whether two singly linked lists intersect. Understand how to identify the intersection node efficiently by analyzing list nodes and applying pointer traversal strategies.

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.

  • 1m,n1031\leq m, n \leq 10^3
