Given a complete binary tree, count the number of nodes.
Definition of a complete binary tree from Wikipedia:
In a complete binary tree every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, and all nodes in the last level are as far left as possible. It can have between 1 and 2h nodes inclusive at the last level h.
Have you met this question in a real interview?
思路: Using height to make it to compare countLeft with countRight. Then, recursion to resolve the subquestion.
/**

public class Solution {
public int countNodes(TreeNode root) {
if(root == null)
return 0;
int leftHeight = countHelper(root.left);
int rightHeight = countHelper(root.right);
if(leftHeight == rightHeight)
return (1 << leftHeight) + countNodes(root.right);
return (1 << rightHeight) + countNodes(root.left);
}
private int countHelper(TreeNode root){
int height = 0;
while(root != null){
height++;
root = root.left;
}
return height;
}
}
