lintcode228 - Middle of Linked List - easy

Posted 2020-12-29 jasminemzy

Find the middle node of a linked list.
Example
Given 1->2->3, return the node with value 2.
Given 1->2, return the node with value 1.
Challenge
If the linked list is in a data stream, can you find the middle without iterating the linked list again?

 

同向快慢指针，快挪2，慢挪1，返回慢。

public class Solution {
    /*
     * @param head: the head of linked list.
     * @return: a middle node of the linked list

    public ListNode middleNode(ListNode head) {
        // write your code here
        if (head == null) {
            return null;
        }
        
        ListNode quick = head, slow = head;
        while (quick.next != null && quick.next.next != null) {
            quick = quick.next.next;
            slow = slow.next;
        }
        return slow;
    }
