问题描述:
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:
1
/ \
0 2
L = 1
R = 2
Output:
1
\
2
Example 2:
Input:
3
/ \
0 4
\
2
/
1
L = 1
R = 3
Output:
3
/
2
/
1
思路:本题是一个深度优先遍历搜索二叉树的题,只能从底部开始进行判断,如果从上面开始判断的话,就会导致后面符合条件的数据丢失,而且必须重复进行开头遍历,如果从底部的话,就不会有数据丢失的问题。(开始想着使用非递归,最后发现,非递归的话,指针只能读取所指地址的内容,而不能改变所指的内容)
解答代码:
/**
* 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)
return NULL;
if(root->val<L) return trimBST(root->right,L,R);
if(root->val>R) return trimBST(root->left,L,R);
root->left = trimBST(root->left,L,R);
root->right = trimBST(root->right,L,R);
return root;
}
};
