BFS算法--宽度优先搜索(广度优先搜索)

树

N叉树的层序遍历

class Solution {
    public List<List<Integer>> levelOrder(Node root) {
        List<List<Integer>> ret = new ArrayList<>();
        if(root == null) return ret;
        Queue<Node> q = new LinkedList<>();
        q.add(root);

        while(!q.isEmpty()) {
            int sz = q.size();
            List<Integer> tmp = new ArrayList<>();//统计本层的节点信息
            for(int i = 0; i < sz; i++) {
                Node t = q.poll();
                tmp.add(t.val);
                //让孩子入队
                for(Node child: t.children) {
                    if(child != null) 
                        q.add(child);
                }
            }

        q.add(new Pair<TreeNode, Integer>(root, 1));
        int ret = 0;//记录最终结果

        while(!q.isEmpty()) {
            //更新这一层的宽度
            Pair<TreeNode, Integer> t1 = q.get(0);
            Pair<TreeNode, Integer> t2 = q.get(q.size() - 1);
            ret = Math.max(ret, t2.getValue() - t1.getValue() + 1);

            //让下一层进队
            List<Pair<TreeNode, Integer>> tmp = new ArrayList<>();
            for(Pair<TreeNode, Integer> t: q) {
                TreeNode node = t.getKey();
                int index = t.getValue();
                if(node.left != null) {
                    tmp.add(new Pair<TreeNode, Integer>(node.left, index * 2));
                }
                if(node.right != null) {
                    tmp.add(new Pair<TreeNode, Integer>(node.right, index * 2 + 1));

            }
            q = tmp;
        }
        return ret;
    }

            int tmp = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
            for(int i = 0; i < sz; i++) {
                TreeNode t = q.poll();
                tmp = Math.max(tmp, t.val);

为高尔夫比赛砍树

注意:需要按照树的高度从低向高砍掉所有的树

算法思路：

1. 先找出砍树的顺序；
2. 然后按照砍树的顺序，⼀个⼀个的⽤ bfs 求出最短路即可。

        for(int i = 0; i < m; i++) 
            for(int j = 0; j < n; j++) 
                if(forest.get(i).get(j) > 1) 
                    trees.add(new int[]{i, j});

        Collections.sort(trees, (a, b) -> {

飞地的数量

正难则反：
从边上的 1 开始搜索，把与边上的 1 相连的联通区域全部标记⼀下；然后再遍历⼀遍矩阵，看看哪些位置的 1 没有被标记即可
标记的时候，可以用「多源 bfs 」解决。

        for(int i = 0; i < m; i++) 
            for(int j = 0; j < n; j++) 
                if(i == 0 || i == m -1 || j == 0 || j == n - 1) {
                    if(grid[i][j] == 1) {

拓扑排序(核心与多源BFS一样)

找到做事情的先后顺序,拓扑排序的结果可能不是唯一的

做题思路
1.把图中入度为0的点加⼊到队列中
2. 删除与该点连接的边
3. 重复1、2操作,直到图中没有点或者没有入度为0的点(有环)

拓扑排序的重要应用:判断有向图是否有环
