# 21.Merge Two Sorted Lists

**21.Merge Two Sorted Lists**

难度:Easy

> 将两个有序链表合并为一个新的有序链表并返回。新链表是通过拼接给定的两个链表的所有节点组成的。

```
示例：

输入：1->2->4, 1->3->4
输出：1->1->2->3->4->4
```

简单递归：

```
/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    ListNode* mergeTwoLists(ListNode* l1, ListNode* l2) {
        if(!l1) return l2;
        if(!l2) return l1;
        ListNode* root; 
         if(l1->val < l2->val )
            {
                root=l1;
             l1=l1->next;
            }
            else 
                {
                root=l2;
                l2=l2->next;
            }
        root->next=mergeTwoLists(l1,l2);
        return root;
       
    }
};
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://dfine.gitbook.io/leetcode/21.merge_two_sorted_lists.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
