Given an array where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST.
public class Solution {
public TreeNode sortedArrayToBST(int[] num) {
if (num == null) return null;
return arrayToBST(num, 0, num.length - 1);
}
private TreeNode arrayToBST(int[] num, int l, int r) {
if (l > r) return null;
int m = (l + r) / 2;
TreeNode cur = new TreeNode(num[m]);
cur.left = arrayToBST(num, l, m - 1);
cur.right = arrayToBST(num, m + 1, r);
return cur;
}
}
IDEA:
Use data, in the range (l, r), to construct the current tree. First pick the middle element as the value of root. Then recursively construct the left sub-tree using data (i, m-1), and the right sub-tree(m+1, r). The initial condition is (1) i > j, the sub-tree being constructed is null, or (2) the sub-tree being constructed is a leaf (already included in case 1).
