Title: Enter two linked lists to find their first public node. The linked list node is defined as follows:
struct ListNode
{
int M_nkey;
listnode* M_pnext;
}
Method 1: Sequentially iterates through each node on the first list, does not traverse one node, and sequentially iterates through each node on the second linked list. O (n^2)
Method 2: Find the length of the two linked lists, first traverse the long list to the length of the short linked list, and then two linked lists at the same time, do not traverse to compare two node pointer is the same,
Note that the node pointer is compared, not the value of the node!
