Leetcode – Add Two Numbers (Java)

You are given two linked lists representing two non-negative numbers. The digits are stored in reverse order and each of their nodes contain a single digit. Add the two numbers and return it as a linked list.

Input: (2 -> 4 -> 3) + (5 -> 6 -> 4)
Output: 7 -> 0 -> 8

Java Solution

public class Solution {
    public ListNode addTwoNumbers(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
       int carry =0;
 
        ListNode newHead = new ListNode(0);
        ListNode p1 = l1, p2 = l2, p3=newHead;
 
        while(p1 != null || p2 != null){
            if(p1 != null){
                carry += p1.val;
                p1 = p1.next;
            }
 
            if(p2 != null){
                carry += p2.val;
                p2 = p2.next;
            }
 
            p3.next = new ListNode(carry%10);
            p3 = p3.next;
            carry /= 10;
        }
 
        if(carry==1) 
            p3.next=new ListNode(1);
 
        return newHead.next;
    }
}

What if the digits are stored in regular order instead of reversed order?

Answer: We can simple reverse the list, calculate the result, and reverse the result.

This might not work in the case when you add 1 and 0. Probably do if (p1.val+p2.val )>9.

public ListNode addTwoNumbers(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) { int carry = 0; int num = 0; ListNode r = null; ListNode head = null; while (l1 != null || l2 != null) { if (l1 != null && l2 != null) { num = l1.val + l2.val; l1 = l1.next; l2 = l2.next; } else if (l1 != null) { num = l1.val; l1 = l1.next; } else if (l2 != null) { num = l2.val; l2 = l2.next; } if ((num + carry) >= 10) { num = (num + carry) - 10; carry = 1; } else { num = num + carry; carry = 0; } if (r == null) { r = new ListNode(num); head = r; } else { ListNode l = new ListNode(num); r.next = l; r = r.next; }
} if (carry != 0) { ListNode l = new ListNode(carry); r.next = l; } return head; }

You could do it, but its not a good practice to navigate the list with the head pointers.

Works for all the cases, you are just changing the order of numbers and adding it in the same way. Eg: 490 +829 = 1319. Using this method gives 094+928 = 9131 which is correct (Reverse of 9131 is 1319)

A slightly simpler version,

public ListNode addTwoNumbers(ListNode l1, ListNode l2) {
int reminder = 0, sum = 0, nextDigit = 0;
ListNode dummyNode = new ListNode(0);
ListNode T = dummyNode;
while (l1 !=null && l2 != null){
sum = l1.val+l2.val+reminder;
nextDigit = sum > 9 ? sum-10 : sum;
reminder = sum > 9 ? 1 : 0;
T.next = new ListNode(nextDigit);
l1=l1.next;
l2=l2.next;
T=T.next;
}
while (l1 !=null){
sum = l1.val+reminder;
nextDigit = sum > 9 ? sum-10 : sum;
reminder = sum > 9 ? 1 : 0;
l1=l1.next;
T.next = new ListNode(nextDigit);
T=T.next;
}
while (l2 !=null){
sum = l2.val+reminder;
nextDigit = sum > 9 ? sum-10 : sum;
reminder = sum > 9 ? 1 : 0;
l2=l2.next;
T.next = new ListNode(nextDigit);
T=T.next;
}
if (reminder != 0 )
T.next = new ListNode(reminder);
return dummyNode.next;
}

Thanks for the code.. Logically its correct. The only concern is about adding a 4 digit number to a 3 digit number in regular order
Jayce Kim

I am also curious about that. Did you figure it out?
random

Bunch of looser have you guys tested it once ?
it wasted my 50 min of time.
Zach

Doesn’t work if first two numbers added together are >= 10 does it?
Wonderer

I wonder, why do you need a new name for l1 and l2 and don’t just use l1 and l2?
Dmytro Chyzhykov

In this case an additional ListNode is added at the end of resulting sum. The following excerpt solves the case:

if(carry==1)
p3.next=new ListNode(1);
Mohit

What if you get 4 digits after adding two 3-digit numbers?
