Convert Sorted List to Binary Search Tree Oct 3 '12 5768 / 16298

Given a singly linked list where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST.

 

 

/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
/**
 * Definition for binary tree
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 * };

        if (head == NULL) return NULL;
        ListNode* t = head;
        int len = 0;
        while (t != NULL) len++, t = t->next;
        return gen(head, 0, len - 1);
    }

        cur = cur->next;
        node->left = left;
        node->right = gen(cur, mid+1, end);
