Challenge 9: Union and Intersection of Linked Lists

Problem statement

Union and intersection are two of the most popular operations, which can be performed on data sets. Now, you will be implementing them for linked lists! Take a look at their definitions:

Union

Given the two lists of A and B, the union is the list that contains elements or objects that belong to either A or to B or to both, but duplicates are not allowed.

Intersection

Given the two lists of A and B, the intersection is the largest list, which contains all the elements that are common to both the sets, but duplicates are not allowed.

The Union( LinkedList list1, LinkedList list2) function takes two linked lists and returns their union.

The Intersection( LinkedList list1, LinkedList list2) function takes two linked lists and returns all the elements that are common between two linked lists.

Input

Two linked lists is the input.

Output

• A list containing the union of the two lists.
• A list containing the intersection of the two lists.

Sample input

list1 = 10->20->80->20->60->null
list2 = 15->20->30->60->60->45->null

Sample output

Union = 10->20->80->60->15->30->45->null
Intersection = 20->60->null
