将任意指针指向链表中的下一个较大值的节点

原文:https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/point-to-next-higher-value-node-in-a-linked-list-with-an-arbitrary-pointer/

给定单链表,每个节点都有一个额外的“任意”指针,该指针当前指向NULL。 需要使“任意”指针指向下一个较大值的节点。

listwithArbit

一种简单解决方案是一个遍历所有节点,对于每个节点,查找当前节点中具有下一个更大值的节点,并更改下一个指针。 该解决方案的时间复杂度为O(N ^ 2)

有效的解决方案的工作时间为O(nLogn)。 这个想法是对链表使用[归并排序。

  1. 遍历输入列表,并将下一个指针复制到每个节点的仲裁指针。

  2. 对由仲裁指针形成的链表进行归并排序。](https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/merge-sort-for-linked-list/)

以下是上述想法的实现。 所有归并排序函数均取自这里。 在此修改了采用的函数,以便它们在仲裁指针上工作,而不是在下一个指针上工作。
