LeetCode笔记:669. Trim a Binary Search Tree

问题(Easy):

Given a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as L and R, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [L, R] (R >= L). You might need to change the root of the tree, so the result should return the new root of the trimmed binary search tree.

Example 1:
Input:



Output:


Example 2:
Input:



Output:


大意:

给出一个二叉查找树和最小、最大边界L和R,修剪树使其所有元素都在[L, R](R >= L)中。你可能需要改变树的根节点,所以结果应该返回裁剪后的树的新跟节点。

例1:
输入:



输出:


例2:
输入:



输出:


思路:

题目的意思就是让树只保留L到R范围内的数字,但是还是要保证树是个二叉查找树,虽然题目说了可能要改变根节点,但实际上只有根节点不在范围内的时候才需要更改。

思路就是递归遍历树的每个节点,将其看做根节点,判断是否为空、是否在范围内。如果不在,则要根据大小取左子节点或者右子节点作为新的根节点;如果在,则继续判断左右子节点。就直接用递归来做。

要注意每次递归都会在一开始就判断根节点是否为空,所以不用在递归前又去判断子节点是否为空,实测这将节省大量时间

代码:

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    TreeNode* trimBST(TreeNode* root, int L, int R) {
        if (root == NULL) return NULL;
        
        TreeNode *res = root;
        if (root->val > R) 
            res = trimBST(root->left, L, R);
        else if (root->val < L) 
            res = trimBST(root->right, L, R);
        else {
            res->left = trimBST(res->left, L, R);
            res->right = trimBST(res->right, L, R);
        }
        
        return res;
        
    }
};

他山之石:

除了用递归,也可以用循环来做,就循环判断左右子树,看大小是否在范围内,在则继续往下,否则将其左/右子节点作为当前循环的节点。

class Solution {
public:
    TreeNode* trimBST(TreeNode* root, int L, int R) {
        
       // find the proper root
        while(root->valval>R)
        {
            if(root->valright; }
            else { root = root->left; }
        }
        
        // temporary pointer for left and right subtree
        TreeNode *Ltemp = root;
        TreeNode *Rtemp = root;
        
        // remove the elements larger than L
        while(Ltemp->left)
        {
            if( (Ltemp->left->val)left = Ltemp->left->right; }
            else { Ltemp = Ltemp->left; }
        }
         // remove the elements larger than R
        while(Rtemp->right)
        {
            if( (Rtemp->right->val)>R) { Rtemp->right = Rtemp->right->left; }
            else { Rtemp = Rtemp->right; }
        }

        return root;
    }
};
