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.
Example 1:
Given the following tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
:
3 / \ 9 20 / \ 15 7
判断一个二叉树是否为高度平衡的二叉树。该题的第一个思路是递归计算每个节点左右子树的高度,然后判断是否为高度平衡。代码如下(此处直接照搬leetcode上别人的代码):
class solution {
public:
int depth (TreeNode *root) {
if (root == NULL) return 0;
return max (depth(root -> left), depth (root -> right)) + 1;
}
bool isBalanced (TreeNode *root) {
if (root == NULL) return true;
int left=depth(root->left);
int right=depth(root->right);
return abs(left - right) <= 1 && isBalanced(root->left) && isBalanced(root->right);
}
};
分析可知,这种情况下求每次节点的深度复杂度为O(n),则总的复杂度为O(n^2),直觉上可知应该有更优解。我们仔细查看求深度的帮助函数,可以在遍历每个节点处判断是否为平衡,若不平衡,则其根节点也不平衡,整棵树也不平衡,我们定义不平衡时其高度为-1这个标志,可实现复杂度为O(n)的算法,算法记录如下:
/**
* 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:
bool isBalanced(TreeNode* root) {
return dfsHeight(root) != -1;
}
int dfsHeight(TreeNode* root)
{
if(!root)
return 0;
int left_height = dfsHeight(root->left);
if(left_height == -1) return -1;
int right_height = dfsHeight(root->right);
if(right_height == -1) return -1;
if((left_height - right_height) > 1 || (right_height - left_height) > 1)
return -1;
return max(left_height, right_height) + 1;
}
};
