Problem
You are given two linked lists: list1
and list2
of sizes n
and m
respectively.
Remove list1
's nodes from the ath
node to the bth
node, and put list2
in their place.
The blue edges and nodes in the following figure indicate the result:
Build the result list and return its head.
Example 1:
Input: list1 = [10,1,13,6,9,5], a = 3, b = 4, list2 = [1000000,1000001,1000002] Output: [10,1,13,1000000,1000001,1000002,5] Explanation: We remove the nodes 3 and 4 and put the entire list2 in their place. The blue edges and nodes in the above figure indicate the result.
Example 2:
Input: list1 = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6], a = 2, b = 5, list2 = [1000000,1000001,1000002,1000003,1000004] Output: [0,1,1000000,1000001,1000002,1000003,1000004,6] Explanation: The blue edges and nodes in the above figure indicate the result.
Constraints:
3 <= list1.length <= 104
1 <= a <= b < list1.length - 1
1 <= list2.length <= 104
