题目:
You need to construct a string consists of parenthesis and integers from a binary tree with the preorder traversing way.
The null node needs to be represented by empty parenthesis pair "()". And you need to omit all the empty parenthesis pairs that don't affect the one-to-one mapping relationship between the string and the original binary tree.
Example 1:
Input: Binary tree: [1,2,3,4] 1 / \ 2 3 / 4 Output: "1(2(4))(3)"
Explanation: Originallay it needs to be "1(2(4)())(3()())",
but you need to omit all the unnecessary empty parenthesis pairs.
And it will be "1(2(4))(3)".
Example 2:
Input: Binary tree: [1,2,3,null,4] 1 / \ 2 3 \ 4 Output: "1(2()(4))(3)"
Explanation: Almost the same as the first example,
except we can't omit the first parenthesis pair to break the one-to-one mapping relationship between the input and the output.

又一道练手题目,哈哈。祝大家面试的时候都能遇到这种题目!
代码:
/**
* 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:
string tree2str(TreeNode* t) {
if (t == NULL) {
return "";
}
string ret(to_string(t->val));
if (!t->left && !t->right) { // t is a leaf, so do not add parenthesis at all
return ret;
}
ret += '('; // no matter t has a left child or not, we have to add parenthesis
ret += tree2str(t->left);
ret += ')';
if (t->right) { // we add parenthesis only when t has a right child
ret += '(';
ret += tree2str(t->right);
ret += ')';
}
return ret;
}
};
