Given a binary tree, determine if it is height-balanced.
For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1.
OJ's Binary Tree Serialization: //LeetCode对二叉树的表示方法
The serialization of a binary tree follows a level order traversal, where '#' signifies a path terminator where no node exists below.
Here's an example:
1 / \ 2 3 / 4 \ 5The above binary tree is serialized as
"{1,2,3,#,#,4,#,#,5}"
.
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public int maxDepth(TreeNode root){ //此方法为10.26日的题,递归求树的最大深度
if(root==null) return 0;
int leftDepth = maxDepth(root.left);
int rightDepth = maxDepth(root.right);
int depth = leftDepth>=rightDepth?leftDepth:rightDepth ;
return depth+1;
}
public boolean isBalanced(TreeNode root) {
if (root==null) return true; //注意,空树也认为是平衡树的情况
int leftHeight = maxDepth(root.left); //求左右子树的高度
int rightHeight = maxDepth(root.right);
if( Math.abs(leftHeight-rightHeight)>1 ) return false; //左右子树的高度相差大于1,一定不是平衡树
return isBalanced(root.left)&&isBalanced(root.right); //注意!!!此处不能直接返回FALSE,要继续向下判断,
} //直至确认每个节点都满足平衡的条件才返回true
}
//左右子树的高度差不大于一,并不代表一定是平衡树,平衡树要求每个节点的左右子节点高度差都不大于1,不只是root节点
//例如:树{1 2 2 3 # # 3 4 # # 4},其根的左右子树高度一样,但其不是平衡树(#代表此节点为null)
