1290. Convert Binary Number in a Linked List to Integer

Description

Given head which is a reference node to a singly-linked list. The value of each node in the linked list is either 0 or 1. The linked list holds the binary representation of a number.

Return the decimal value of the number in the linked list.

The most significant bit is at the head of the linked list.

 

Example 1:

Input: head = [1,0,1]
Output: 5
Explanation: (101) in base 2 = (5) in base 10

Example 2:

Input: head = [0]
Output: 0

 

Constraints:

• The Linked List is not empty.
• Number of nodes will not exceed 30.
• Each node's value is either 0 or 1.

 

Solutions

Solution: Bit Manipulation

• Time complexity: O(n)
• Space complexity: O(1)

 

JavaScript

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * function ListNode(val, next) {
 *     this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
 *     this.next = (next===undefined ? null : next)
 * }
 */
/**
 * @param {ListNode} head
 * @return {number}
 */
const getDecimalValue = function (head) {
  let result = 0;

  while (head) {
    result <<= 1;
    result |= head.val;
    head = head.next;
  }

  return result;
};
