Given a singly linked list, return a random node‘s value from the linked list. Each node must have the same probability of being chosen.
Follow up:
What if the linked list is extremely large and its length is unknown to you? Could you solve this efficiently without using extra space?
Example:
// Init a singly linked list [1,2,3]. ListNode head = new ListNode(1); head.next = new ListNode(2); head.next.next = new ListNode(3); Solution solution = new Solution(head); // getRandom() should return either 1, 2, or 3 randomly. Each element should have equal probability of returning. solution.getRandom();
class Solution { private: ListNode* head; public: Solution(ListNode* head) { this->head = head; } int getRandom() { int res = head->val; ListNode* node = head->next; int i = 2; while(node){ int j = rand()%i; if(j==0) res = node->val; i++; node = node->next; } return res; } };
