Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node
Given a binary tree
struct TreeLinkNode { TreeLinkNode *left; TreeLinkNode *right; TreeLinkNode *next; }
Populate each next pointer to point to its next right node. If there is no next right node, the next pointer should be set to NULL
.
Initially, all next pointers are set to NULL
.
Note:
- You may only use constant extra space.
- You may assume that it is a perfect binary tree (ie, all leaves are at the same level, and every parent has two children).
For example,
Given the following perfect binary tree,
1 / \ 2 3 / \ / \ 4 5 6 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL / \ 2 -> 3 -> NULL / \ / \ 4->5->6->7 -> NULL
void connect(TreeLinkNode *root) {
if(root==NULL||root->left ==NULL)
return;
else
{
root->left->next =root->right;
}
if(root->next)
{
root->right->next =root->next->left;
}
connect(root->left);
connect(root->right);
}
