148. Sort List

Description

Given the head of a linked list, return the list after sorting it in ascending order.

 

Example 1:

Input: head = [4,2,1,3]
Output: [1,2,3,4]

Example 2:

Input: head = [-1,5,3,4,0]
Output: [-1,0,3,4,5]

Example 3:

Input: head = []
Output: []

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the list is in the range [0, 5 * 104].
  • -105 <= Node.val <= 105

 

Follow up: Can you sort the linked list in O(n logn) time and O(1) memory (i.e. constant space)?
