21. Merge Two Sorted Lists
题目
You are given the heads of two sorted linked lists list1
and list2
.
Merge the two lists into one sorted list. The list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.
Return the head of the merged linked list.
Example 1:

Input: list1 = [1,2,4], list2 = [1,3,4] Output: [1,1,2,3,4,4]
Example 2:
Input: list1 = [], list2 = [] Output: []
Example 3:
Input: list1 = [], list2 = [0] Output: [0]
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in both lists is in the range
[0, 50]
. -100 <= Node.val <= 100
- Both
list1
andlist2
are sorted in non-decreasing order.
