111. Minimum Depth of Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.

The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.

一刷
题解：思路很简单，就是取左右子树中长度较小的一个并加1， 但是一定要找到leaf, 根不算。于是(left == 0 || right == 0) ? left + right + 1

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null) return 0;
        int left = minDepth(root.left);
        int right = minDepth(root.right);
        return (left == 0 || right == 0) ? left + right + 1: Math.min(left,right) + 1;//must find the leaf
    }
}

二刷
思路同上。

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null) return 0;
        int left = minDepth(root.left);
        int right = minDepth(root.right);
        return (left==0||right==0)? left+right+1 : 1 + Math.min(left, right);
    }
}

三刷
主要是注意，一定要走到叶子结点才能算长度

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null) return 0;
        int left = minDepth(root.left);
        int right = minDepth(root.right);
        return (left == 0 || right == 0)? right + left + 1 : 1 + Math.min(left, right);
    }
}
