Solution: Intersection of Two Linked Lists

Understand how to use the two-pointer approach to find the intersection node of two singly linked lists. Explore a method that equalizes traversal paths without extra memory and analyze its time and space complexity for efficient problem solving.

Statement

You are given the heads of two singly linked lists, headA and headB, to determine whether the two lists intersect. If they intersect, return the node where the intersection begins. Otherwise, return NULL.

Note: Linked lists intersect if they share a common node in memory, not just a node with the same value.

Constraints:

  • 11 ≤ node.val 105≤ 10^5

  • The number of nodes of listAlistA is in the mm ...
