Day 3-5: Add Two Numbers - List Nodes

Learning Goals

  • Practice working with Linked Lists

Introduction

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.

example

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]

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

Before you start coding

  1. Rewrite the problem in your own words
  2. Validate that you understand the problem
  3. Write your own test cases
  4. Pseudocode
  5. Code!

And remember, don't run our tests until you've passed your own!

How to run your own tests

Ruby

  1. cd into the ruby folder
  2. ruby <filename>.rb

JavaScript

  1. cd into the javascript folder
  2. node <filename>.js

How to run our tests

Ruby
