Correct. It will not be exactly one traversal of each list. More precisely, in worst case each pointer will traverse one list completely and then another list from beginning to intersection point. On Oct 11, 12:49 pm, ankur aggarwal ankur.mast@gmail.com wrote: *...@manisha one traversal

@sandeep notice that solution given on the given link doesn't satisfy the conditions given in the above question. @sharad Both lists may have duplicate values. So in this case it will better to hash the address of node instead of values. One other way is to maintain a flag in each of the node.

One other way will be using two pointers. step1) Take two pointers(p1 and p2 ), pointing to the beginning of list L1 and L2. step2) Now start moving both the pointers simultaneously and check whether they point to same node. If not, then move both pointers to next node. Step3) If any of pointer
