1290. Convert Binary Number in a Linked List to Integer

Question:

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.

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

Example 3:

Input: head = [1]
Output: 1

Example 4:

Input: head = [1,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]
Output: 18880

Example 5:

Input: head = [0,0]
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.

Solution:

Shift the result to left by 1 and add the node value in to the last binary in result.

 *     int val;
 *     ListNode next;

 *     ListNode(int val, ListNode next) { this.val = val; this.next = next; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public int getDecimalValue(ListNode head) {
        int result = 0;
        while (head != null) {
            result = result << 1;
            result += head.val;
            head = head.next;
        }
        return result;
    }
}
