Challenge Statement

  • You are given two non-empty linked lists representing two non-negative integers. The digits are stored in reverse order, and each of their nodes contains a single digit. Add the two numbers and return the sum as a linked list.
  • You may assume the two numbers do not contain any leading zero, except the number 0 itself.
  • This challenge corresponds to LeetCode #2.

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in each linked list is in the range [1, 100].
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 9
  • It is guaranteed that the list represents a number that does not have leading zeros.

Example 1:

Input: l1 = [2, 4, 3], l2 = [5, 6, 4]

Output: [7, 0, 8]

Explanation: 342 + 465 = 807

Example 2:

Input: l1 = [0], l2 = [0]

Output: [0]

Example 3:

Input: l1 = [9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9, 9], l2 = [9, 9, 9, 9]

Output: [8, 9, 9, 9, 0, 0, 0, 1]

Solution

Below is my solution and some test cases. This solution has a linear time complexity O(n) and a constant space complexity O(1), where n is the length of the input list.
