21. merge two sorted lists leetcode in c++

You are given the heads of two sorted linked lists list1 and list2.

Merge the two lists in a one sorted list. The list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.

Return the head of the merged linked list.

 

Example 1:

Input: list1 = [1,2,4], list2 = [1,3,4]
Output: [1,1,2,3,4,4]

Example 2:

Input: list1 = [], list2 = []
Output: []

Example 3:

Input: list1 = [], list2 = [0]
Output: [0]

 

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in both lists is in the range [0, 50].
• -100 <= Node.val <= 100
• Both list1 and list2 are sorted in non-decreasing order.

 

my code:

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode() : val(0), next(nullptr) {}
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(nullptr) {}
 *     ListNode(int x, ListNode *next) : val(x), next(next) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    ListNode* mergeTwoLists(ListNode* list1, ListNode* list2) {
        ListNode* list3=NULL;
        if(list1==NULL)
            return list2;
        if(list2==NULL)
            return list1;
        if(list1->val < list2->val)
        {
            list3=list1;
            list3->next=mergeTwoLists(list1->next, list2);
            
        }else 
        {
            list3=list2;
            list3->next=mergeTwoLists(list1, list2->next);
        }
        return list3;
        
    }
};
