花花酱 LeetCode 958. Check Completeness of a Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, determine if it is a complete binary tree.

Definition of a complete binary tree from Wikipedia:
In a complete binary tree every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, and all nodes in the last level are as far left as possible. It can have between 1 and 2h nodes inclusive at the last level h.

Example 1:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6]
Output: true
Explanation: Every level before the last is full (ie. levels with node-values {1} and {2, 3}), and all nodes in the last level ({4, 5, 6}) are as far left as possible.

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,null,7]
Output: false
Explanation: The node with value 7 isn't as far left as possible.

Note:

  1. The tree will have between 1 and 100 nodes.

Solution:

Level order traversal, if any nodes appears after a missing node then the tree is not a perfect binary tree.

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

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 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.

Space complexity: O(n)
