Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List

Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List   Oct 14 '12 4412 / 13068

Given a binary tree, flatten it to a linked list in-place.

For example,
Given

         1
        / \
       2   5
      / \   \
     3   4   6

The flattened tree should look like:

   1
    \
     2
      \
       3
        \
         4
          \
           5
            \
             6

Hints:

If you notice carefully in the flattened tree, each node's right child points to the next node of a pre-order traversal.

 

其实就是前序遍历，在加上个队尾指针。

        if(root != NULL)
        {
            TreeNode* left = root->left;
            TreeNode* right = root->right;
            if(Tail == NULL){
                Tail = root;
            }
            else{
                if(Tail->right != root)

            preOrder(left);
            preOrder(right);
        }
    }
    void flatten(TreeNode *root) {
        // Start typing your C/C++ solution below
        // DO NOT write int main() function
        Tail = NULL;
        preOrder(root);
    }
