leetcode23. 合併K個排序連結串列

1. 題目描述

合併 k 個排序連結串列，返回合併後的排序連結串列。請分析和描述演算法的複雜度。
示例:
輸入:
[
  1->4->5,
  1->3->4,
  2->6
]
輸出: 1->1->2->3->4->4->5->6

2. 解題思路

/*
解題思路：
解法一、順序合併
1、lists[0]與lists[1]合併，結果與lists[2]合併...結果與lists[listsSize-1]合併
解法二、分治合併
1、lists[0]與lists[1]合併,lists[2]與lists[3]合併,然後將合併的結果繼續合併。

6. 複雜度分析

解法一、順序合併
時間複雜度：O(n*n)
空間複雜度：O(1)
解法二、分治合併
時間複雜度：O(nlogn)
空間複雜度：O(1)
