problem

solution

• 因為是排序過的list，只要 new 兩個指標分別指向list1 list2 比較大小，小的放進要回傳的串列即可。

class Solution {
public:
    ListNode* mergeTwoLists(ListNode* list1, ListNode* list2) {
        ListNode * ret = new ListNode(-1), *ans = ret ;
        // compare each node in two lists
        while(list1 && list2){
            if(list1->val < list2->val) {
                ret->next = list1;
                list1=list1->next;
            }
            else{
                ret->next = list2;
                list2=list2->next;
            }
            ret = ret->next;
        }
        if(list1) ret->next = list1;
        if(list2) ret->next = list2;
        return ans->next;
    }
};
