Add Two Numbers

2. Add Two Numbers

Difficulty: Medium

Related Topics: Linked List, Math, Recursion

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 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]

Code:

# Definition for singly-linked list.
# class ListNode:
#     def __init__(self, val=0, next=None):
#         self.val = val
#         self.next = next
class Solution:
    def addTwoNumbers(self, l1: Optional[ListNode], l2: Optional[ListNode]) -> Optional[ListNode]:
        dummyHead = ListNode(0)
        curr = dummyHead
        carry = 0
        while l1 != None or l2 != None or carry != 0:
            l1Val = l1.val if l1 else 0
            l2Val = l2.val if l2 else 0
            columnSum = l1Val + l2Val + carry
            carry = columnSum // 10
            newNode = ListNode(columnSum % 10)
            curr.next = newNode
            curr = newNode
            l1 = l1.next if l1 else None
            l2 = l2.next if l2 else None
        return dummyHead.next
