235. Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Search Tree

求最近的公共祖先。(二叉搜索树)
Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the BST.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes p and q as the lowest node in T that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

Given binary search tree: root = [6,2,8,0,4,7,9,null,null,3,5]

在这里插入图片描述

Example 1:

Input: root = [6,2,8,0,4,7,9,null,null,3,5], p = 2, q = 8
Output: 6
Explanation: The LCA of nodes 2 and 8 is 6.
Example 2:

Input: root = [6,2,8,0,4,7,9,null,null,3,5], p = 2, q = 4
Output: 2
Explanation: The LCA of nodes 2 and 4 is 2, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

思路
pq的特点就是,一个一定大于root值,一个一定小于root值

如果pq都小于root的值,那么去左子树继续找
如果p在左,q在右,那么结果就是root

/**
 * 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* lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) {
        // 如果pq都小于root的值,那么去左子树继续找
        if(root->val > p->val && root->val > q->val) {
            return lowestCommonAncestor(root->left, p, q);
        } else if (root->val < p->val && root->val < q->val) {
             return lowestCommonAncestor(root->right, p, q);
        } else {
            return root;
        }
    }
};

非递归写法

/**
 * 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* lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) {
        // 非递归
        while(root) {
            if(root->val > p->val && root->val > q->val) {
                root = root->left;
            } else if (root->val < p->val && root->val < q->val) {
                root = root->right;
            } else {
            	// 找到一个节点,值在pq之间,
                return root;
            }
        }
        return root;
    }
};

236. Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree

求最近的公共祖先。(普通的二叉树)
Given a binary tree, find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the tree.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes p and q as the lowest node in T that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

Given the following binary tree: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4]

在这里插入图片描述

Example 1:

Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 1
Output: 3
Explanation: The LCA of nodes 5 and 1 is 3.
Example 2:

Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 4
Output: 5
Explanation: The LCA of nodes 5 and 4 is 5, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

Note:

All of the nodes’ values will be unique.
p and q are different and both values will exist in the binary tree.


思路1

  1. 方法一:p,q 从下往上找路径,找最早重合的节点,(需要有父亲节点的指针) O(N)
  2. 方法二:从上往下找pq,找到路径1,2,最后重合的点就是他们的公共祖先
    O(N)

思路2
Recursion

-findPorQ(root, p, q) // 在root为跟的子树中找p或q,找到则返回pq
if root == p or root == q
return root
else
findPorQ(root->left, p,q)
findPorQ(root->right, p,q)

停止递归条件1:假设pq其中一个为根节点,那么答案肯定是这个root了。
停止递归条件2:如果pq一个在左子树一个在右子树,那么答案也是这个root了。
继续递归:如果pq都在左子树,那么答案肯定也是左子树中的,继续往左子树中查询。
右同左

/**
 * 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:
	// lowestCommonAncestor = findPorQ
    TreeNode* lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) {
        if(root == nullptr || root == p || root == q) {
            return root;
        } 
        
        TreeNode *left = lowestCommonAncestor(root->left, p, q);
        TreeNode *right = lowestCommonAncestor(root->right, p, q);
        
        if(left == nullptr) {
            return right;
        } else if(right == nullptr) {
            return left;
        } else {
            return root;
        }
    }
};
以下是C#中二叉树的lowest common ancestor的源代码: ```csharp using System; public class Node { public int value; public Node left; public Node right; public Node(int value) { this.value = value; this.left = null; this.right = null; } } public class BinaryTree { public Node root; public BinaryTree() { this.root = null; } public Node LowestCommonAncestor(Node node, int value1, int value2) { if (node == null) { return null; } if (node.value == value1 || node.value == value2) { return node; } Node left = LowestCommonAncestor(node.left, value1, value2); Node right = LowestCommonAncestor(node.right, value1, value2); if (left != null && right != null) { return node; } return (left != null) ? left : right; } } public class Program { public static void Main() { BinaryTree tree = new BinaryTree(); tree.root = new Node(1); tree.root.left = new Node(2); tree.root.right = new Node(3); tree.root.left.left = new Node(4); tree.root.left.right = new Node(5); tree.root.right.left = new Node(6); tree.root.right.right = new Node(7); Node lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 4, 5); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 4 and 5: " + lca.value); lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 4, 6); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 4 and 6: " + lca.value); lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 3, 4); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 3 and 4: " + lca.value); lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 2, 4); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 2 and 4: " + lca.value); } } ``` 在上面的代码中,我们定义了一个Node类和一个BinaryTree类。我们使用BinaryTree类来创建二叉树,并实现了一个LowestCommonAncestor方法来计算二叉树中给定两个节点的最近公共祖先。 在LowestCommonAncestor方法中,我们首先检查给定节点是否为null或与给定值之一匹配。如果是,则返回该节点。否则,我们递归地在左子树和右子树上调用LowestCommonAncestor方法,并检查它们的返回值。如果左子树和右子树的返回值都不为null,则当前节点是它们的最近公共祖先。否则,我们返回非null的那个子树的返回值。 在Main方法中,我们创建了一个二叉树,并测试了LowestCommonAncestor方法的几个不同输入。
