430. Flatten a Multilevel Doubly Linked List
You are given a doubly linked list which in addition to the next and previous pointers, it could have a child pointer, which may or may not point to a separate doubly linked list. These child lists may have one or more children of their own, and so on, to produce a multilevel data structure, as shown in the example below.
Flatten the list so that all the nodes appear in a single-level, doubly linked list. You are given the head of the first level of the list.
Example 1:
Input: head = [1,2,3,4,5,6,null,null,null,7,8,9,10,null,null,11,12] Output: [1,2,3,7,8,11,12,9,10,4,5,6] Explanation: The multilevel linked list in the input is as follows:After flattening the multilevel linked list it becomes:
![]()
Example 2:
Input: head = [1,2,null,3] Output: [1,3,2] Explanation: The input multilevel linked list is as follows: 1---2---NULL | 3---NULL
Example 3:
Input: head = [] Output: []
How multilevel linked list is represented in test case:
We use the multilevel linked list from Example 1 above:
1---2---3---4---5---6--NULL | 7---8---9---10--NULL | 11--12--NULL
The serialization of each level is as follows:
[1,2,3,4,5,6,null] [7,8,9,10,null] [11,12,null]
To serialize all levels together we will add nulls in each level to signify no node connects to the upper node of the previous level. The serialization becomes:
[1,2,3,4,5,6,null] [null,null,7,8,9,10,null] [null,11,12,null]
Merging the serialization of each level and removing trailing nulls we obtain:
[1,2,3,4,5,6,null,null,null,7,8,9,10,null,null,11,12]
Constraints:
- Number of Nodes will not exceed 1000.
1 <= Node.val <= 10^5
/* // Definition for a Node. class Node { public int val; public Node prev; public Node next; public Node child; }; */ class Solution { Node result; Node current; public Node flatten(Node head) { result = new Node(-1); current = result; addNodes(head); return result.next; } private void addNodes(Node node) { if (node == null) { return; } Node prev = current; current.next = new Node(node.val); current = current.next; current.prev = prev.val == -1 ? null : prev; if (node.child != null) { addNodes(node.child); } addNodes(node.next); } }
