Given the heads of two singly linked-lists head_a and head_b, return the node at which the two lists intersect. If the two linked lists do not intersect, the function should return None.
For example, the following two linked lists begin to intersect at 5.
linked_list_a: 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
linked_list_b: 1 -> 2 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
The following two linked lists do not intersect at all because while the node with value 5 is in the same place, the subsequent nodes are different.
linked_list_a: 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 7
linked_list_b: 1 -> 2 -> 5 -> 4 -> 3
Thereare no cycles anywhere in the linked list structures. Assume any intersection includes the tails of each list.
The linked lists must retain their original structure after the function returns.
As usual with a python project, create a virtual environment:
python3 -m venv venv
Then activate the virtual environment
source venv/bin/activate
Then install the required packages.
pip install -r requirements.txt
