花花酱 LeetCode 111. Minimum Depth of Binary Tree

Problem

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.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

Example:

Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

return its minimum depth = 2.

Solution: Recursion

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 104. Maximum Depth of Binary Tree

Problem

Given a binary tree, find its maximum depth.

The maximum depth is the number of nodes along the longest path from the root node down to the farthest leaf node.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

Example:

Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

return its depth = 3.

Solution: Recursion

maxDepth(root) = max(maxDepth(root.left), maxDepth(root.right)) + 1

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 938. Range Sum of BST

Problem

Given the root node of a binary search tree, return the sum of values of all nodes with value between L and R (inclusive).

The binary search tree is guaranteed to have unique values.

Example 1:

Input: root = [10,5,15,3,7,null,18], L = 7, R = 15
Output: 32

Example 2:

Input: root = [10,5,15,3,7,13,18,1,null,6], L = 6, R = 10
Output: 23

Note:

  1. The number of nodes in the tree is at most 10000.
  2. The final answer is guaranteed to be less than 2^31.

Solution: In-order traversal

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 919. Complete Binary Tree Inserter

Problem

complete binary tree is a binary tree in which every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, and all nodes are as far left as possible.

Write a data structure CBTInserter that is initialized with a complete binary tree and supports the following operations:

  • CBTInserter(TreeNode root) initializes the data structure on a given tree with head node root;
  • CBTInserter.insert(int v) will insert a TreeNode into the tree with value node.val = v so that the tree remains complete, and returns the value of the parent of the inserted TreeNode;
  • CBTInserter.get_root() will return the head node of the tree.

Example 1:

Input: inputs = ["CBTInserter","insert","get_root"], inputs = [[[1]],[2],[]]
Output: [null,1,[1,2]]

Example 2:

Input: inputs = ["CBTInserter","insert","insert","get_root"], inputs = [[[1,2,3,4,5,6]],[7],[8],[]]
Output: [null,3,4,[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8]]

Note:

  1. The initial given tree is complete and contains between 1 and 1000 nodes.
  2. CBTInserter.insert is called at most 10000 times per test case.
  3. Every value of a given or inserted node is between 0 and 5000.

Solution 2: Deque

Using a deck to keep track of insertable nodes (potential parents) in order.

Time complexity: O(1) / O(n) first call

Space complexity: O(n)

花花酱 LeetCode 236. Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree

Problem

Given a binary tree, find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the tree.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes p and q as the lowest node in T that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

Given the following binary tree:  root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4]

        _______3______
       /              \
    ___5__          ___1__
   /      \        /      \
   6      _2       0       8
         /  \
         7   4

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 1
Output: 3
Explanation: The LCA of of nodes 5 and 1 is 3.

Example 2:

Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 4
Output: 5
Explanation: The LCA of nodes 5 and 4 is 5, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

Note:

  • All of the nodes’ values will be unique.
  • p and q are different and both values will exist in the binary tree.

Solution 1: Recursion

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(h)

For a given root, recursively call LCA(root.left, p, q) and LCA(root.right, p, q)

if both returns a valid node which means p, q are in different subtrees, then root will be their LCA.

if only one valid node returns, which means p, q are in the same subtree, return that valid node as their LCA.
