Merge Two Sorted Linked Lists Problem Statement
You are provided with two sorted linked lists. Your task is to merge them into a single sorted linked list and return the head of the combined linked list.
Input:
The first line indicates the integer 'T', which is the number of test cases. Each test case consists of:
The first line contains the elements of the first linked list, separated by spaces, ending with -1.
The second line contains the elements of the second linked list, separated by spaces, ending with -1.
Output:
For each test case, output the merged linked list, with elements separated by spaces, ending with -1. Each test case's output should be on a new line.
Example:
Input:
1 4 5 -1
2 3 5 -1
Output:
1 2 3 4 5 5 -1
Constraints:
- 1 <= T <= 10
- 1 <= L <= 10^5
- 1 ≤ data ≤ 10^6 and data != -1
Note:
The provided linked lists may be empty, represented by ending immediately with -1.
Follow-up:
Attempt to solve this problem using a method with linear time complexity and without additional space usage beyond constant space complexity.
