Question 148: Sort Linked List
1. Title
2. Code
class Solution {

if (head == null) {
return head;
}
int length = 0;
ListNode node = head;
while (node != null) {
length++;
node = node.next;
}
ListNode dummyHead = new ListNode(0, head);
for (int subLength = 1; subLength < length; subLength <<= 1) {
ListNode prev = dummyHead, curr = dummyHead.next;
while (curr != null) {
ListNode head1 = curr;
for (int i = 1; i < subLength && curr.next != null; i++) {
curr = curr.next;
}
ListNode head2 = curr.next;
curr.next = null;
curr = head2;
for (int i = 1; i < subLength && curr != null && curr.next != null; i++) {
curr = curr.next;
}
ListNode next = null;
if (curr != null) {
next = curr.next;
curr.next = null;
}
ListNode merged = merge(head1, head2);
prev.next = merged;
while (prev.next != null) {

}

}
}

}
public ListNode merge(ListNode head1, ListNode head2) {

ListNode temp = dummyHead, temp1 = head1, temp2 = head2;
while (temp1 != null && temp2 != null) {
