2. Add Two Numbers

1. Description

You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order, and each of their nodes contains a single digit. Add the two numbers and return the sum as a linked list.
You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.

2. Example

Example 1:
Input: l1 = [2,4,3], l2 = [5,6,4]
Output: [7,0,8]
Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807.

Example 2:
Input: l1 = [0], l2 = [0]
Output: [0]

Example 3:
Input: l1 = [9,9,9,9,9,9,9], l2 = [9,9,9,9]
Output: [8,9,9,9,0,0,0,1]

3. Constraints

  • The number of nodes in each linked list is in the range [1, 100].
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 9
  • It is guaranteed that the list represents a number that does not have leading zeros.

4. Solutions

My Accepted Solution

n = max(length of l1, length of l2)
Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)

class Solution {
public:
    ListNode *addTwoNumbers(ListNode *l1, ListNode *l2) {
        ListNode head;
        ListNode *iter = &head;

        int last_carry = 0, carry = 0;
        while (l1 != nullptr && l2 != nullptr) {
            carry = (l1->val + l2->val + last_carry) / 10;
            int digit = (l1->val + l2->val + last_carry) - carry * 10;
            last_carry = carry;

            ListNode* node = new ListNode(digit);
            iter->next = node;

            iter = iter->next;
            l1 = l1->next;
            l2 = l2->next;
        }

        ListNode *left_iter = (l1 == nullptr ? l2 : l1);
        while (left_iter != nullptr) {
            carry = (left_iter->val + last_carry) / 10;
            int digit = (left_iter->val + last_carry) - carry * 10;
            last_carry = carry;

            ListNode* node = new ListNode(digit);
            iter->next = node;

            iter = iter->next;
            left_iter = left_iter->next;
        }

        if (carry == 1) {
            ListNode* node = new ListNode(1);
            iter->next = node;
        }

        return head.next;
    }
};
