Class Solution

    extends Object
    382 - Linked List Random Node.

    Medium

    Given a singly linked list, return a random node’s value from the linked list. Each node must have the same probability of being chosen.

    Implement the Solution class:

    • Solution(ListNode head) Initializes the object with the integer array nums.
    • int getRandom() Chooses a node randomly from the list and returns its value. All the nodes of the list should be equally likely to be choosen.

    Example 1:

    Input

     ["Solution", "getRandom", "getRandom", "getRandom", "getRandom", "getRandom"] 
     [[[1, 2, 3]], [], [], [], [], []]
    

    Output:

     [null, 1, 3, 2, 2, 3]
    

    Explanation:

     Solution solution = new Solution([1, 2, 3]); 
     solution.getRandom(); // return 1 
     solution.getRandom(); // return 3 
     solution.getRandom(); // return 2 
     solution.getRandom(); // return 2 
     solution.getRandom(); // return 3 
     // getRandom() should return either 1, 2, or 3 randomly. Each element should have equal probability of returning.
    

    Constraints:

    • The number of nodes in the linked list will be in the range [1, 104].
    • -104 <= Node.val <= 104
    • At most 104 calls will be made to getRandom.

    Follow up:

    • What if the linked list is extremely large and its length is unknown to you?
    • Could you solve this efficiently without using extra space?
