https://leetcode.com/problems/binary-tree-upside-down/description/
Given a binary tree where all the right nodes are either leaf nodes with a sibling (a left node that shares the same parent node) or empty, flip it upside down and turn it into a tree where the original right nodes turned into left leaf nodes. Return the new root.
Example:
Input: [1,2,3,4,5]
1
/ \
2 3
/ \
4 5
Output: return the root of the binary tree [4,5,2,#,#,3,1]
4
/ \
5 2
/ \
3 1
Clarification:
Confused what [4,5,2,#,#,3,1]
means? Read more below on how binary tree is serialized on OJ.
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
\
5
The above binary tree is serialized as [1,2,3,#,#,4,#,#,5]
.
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode(object):
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.val = x
# self.left = None
# self.right = None
class Solution(object):
def upsideDownBinaryTree(self, root):
"""
:type root: TreeNode
:rtype: TreeNode
"""
if not root:
return
elif not root.right and not root.left:
return root
res = self.upsideDownBinaryTree(root.left)
root.left.left = root.right
root.left.right = root
root.left = None
root.right = None
return res
