A linked list is given such that each node contains an additional random pointer which could point to any node in the list or null.
Return a deep copy of the list.
思路分析:这题要求拷贝链表,包括内容,next指针和random指针。容易想到的思路是定义一个hashmap保存旧链表节点到新链表节点的映射关系,第一次遍历链表,只拷贝next指针和node,并且init hashmap, 第二遍遍历链表再拷贝所有节点的random指针,借助hashmap可以在O(1)时间内由给定旧链表节点找到新链表对应节点。时间复杂度和空间复杂度都是O(n)。
另有一个解法不需要额外空间,需要三遍遍历,要仔细画图分析,详细可见
