3063. Linked List Frequency π ο
Descriptionο
Given the head
of a linked list containing k
distinct elements, return the head to a linked list of length k
containing the frequency of each distinct element in the given linked list in any order.
Example 1:
Input: head = [1,1,2,1,2,3]
Output: [3,2,1]
Explanation: There are 3
distinct elements in the list. The frequency of 1
is 3
, the frequency of 2
is 2
and the frequency of 3
is 1
. Hence, we return 3 -> 2 -> 1
.
Note that 1 -> 2 -> 3
, 1 -> 3 -> 2
, 2 -> 1 -> 3
, 2 -> 3 -> 1
, and 3 -> 1 -> 2
are also valid answers.
Example 2:
Input: head = [1,1,2,2,2]
Output: [2,3]
Explanation: There are 2
distinct elements in the list. The frequency of 1
is 2
and the frequency of 2
is 3
. Hence, we return 2 -> 3
.
Example 3:
Input: head = [6,5,4,3,2,1]
Output: [1,1,1,1,1,1]
Explanation: There are 6
distinct elements in the list. The frequency of each of them is 1
. Hence, we return 1 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1 -> 1
.
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the list is in the range
[1, 105]
. 1 <= Node.val <= 105
Solutionsο
Solution 1: Hash Tableο
We use a hash table cnt
to record the occurrence times of each element value in the linked list, then traverse the values of the hash table to construct a new linked list.
The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the length of the linked list.
