Merge k Sorted Lists

You are given an array of k linked-lists lists, each linked-list is sorted in ascending order.

Merge all the linked-lists into one sorted linked-list and return it.

Example 1:

Input: lists = [[1,4,5],[1,3,4],[2,6]]
Output: [1,1,2,3,4,4,5,6]
Explanation: The linked-lists are:
[
  1->4->5,
  1->3->4,
  2->6
]
merging them into one sorted list:
1->1->2->3->4->4->5->6

Example 2:

Input: lists = []
Output: []

Example 3:

Input: lists = [[]]
Output: []

Constraints:

  • k == lists.length
  • 0 <= k <= 104
  • 0 <= lists[i].length <= 500
  • -104 <= lists[i][j] <= 104
  • lists[i] is sorted in ascending order.
  • The sum of lists[i].length will not exceed 104.

SOLUTION

public ListNode mergeTwoLists(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
    ListNode h = new ListNode(0);
    ListNode ans=h;
    while (l1 != null && l2 != null) {
        if (l1.val < l2.val) {
            h.next = l1;
            h = h.next;
            l1 = l1.next;
        } else {
            h.next = l2;
            h = h.next;
            l2 = l2.next;
        }
    }
    if(l1==null){
        h.next=l2;
    }
    if(l2==null){
        h.next=l1;
    } 
    return ans.next;
}
public ListNode mergeKLists(ListNode[] lists) {
    if(lists.length==0){
        return null;
    }
    int interval = 1;
    while(interval<lists.length){
        System.out.println(lists.length);
        for (int i = 0; i + interval< lists.length; i=i+interval*2) {
            lists[i]=mergeTwoLists(lists[i],lists[i+interval]);            
        }
        interval*=2;
    }

    return lists[0];
}
