297. Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree

Serialization is the process of converting a data structure or object into a sequence of bits so that it can be stored in a file or memory buffer, or transmitted across a network connection link to be reconstructed later in the same or another computer environment.

Design an algorithm to serialize and deserialize a binary tree. There is no restriction on how your serialization/deserialization algorithm should work. You just need to ensure that a binary tree can be serialized to a string and this string can be deserialized to the original tree structure.

For example, you may serialize the following tree

1
   / \
  2   3
     / \
    4   5

as "[1,2,3,null,null,4,5]", just the same as how LeetCode OJ serializes a binary tree. You do not necessarily need to follow this format, so please be creative and come up with different approaches yourself.

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Codec {

    // Encodes a tree to a single string.
    public String serialize(TreeNode root) {
        if (root == null) {
            return "";
        }

        ArrayList<TreeNode> queue = new ArrayList<TreeNode>();
        queue.add(root);

        for (int i = 0; i < queue.size(); i++) {
            TreeNode node = queue.get(i);//queue的size是会随着每次加进去的值而变化的
            if (node == null) {
                continue;
            }
            queue.add(node.left);
            queue.add(node.right);
        }

        while (queue.get(queue.size() - 1) == null) {//除掉队尾的null值
            queue.remove(queue.size() - 1);
        }

        StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); //把queue里面的元素遍历一遍，放在sb里
        sb.append(queue.get(0).val);
        for (int i = 1; i < queue.size(); i++) {
            if (queue.get(i) == null) {
                sb.append(",#");
            } else {
                sb.append(",");
                sb.append(queue.get(i).val);
            }
        }
        return sb.toString();
    }
    
    /**
     * This method will be invoked second, the argument data is what exactly
     * you serialized at method "serialize", that means the data is not given by

    public TreeNode deserialize(String data) {
        if (data.equals("")) {
            return null;
        }
        String[] vals = data.split(",");
        ArrayList<TreeNode> queue = new ArrayList<TreeNode>();
        TreeNode root = new TreeNode(Integer.parseInt(vals[0]));
        queue.add(root);

        boolean isLeftChild = true; //每次douyaoj
        for (int i = 1; i < vals.length; i++) {
            if (!vals[i].equals("#")) {
                TreeNode node = new TreeNode(Integer.parseInt(vals[i]));

                    queue.get(index).left = node;

                    queue.get(index).right = node;
                }
                queue.add(node);
            }
            if (!isLeftChild) {
                index++; //右孩子的话就进行到下一个孩子
            }

// Your Codec object will be instantiated and called as such:
