剑指 Offer 68 - I. 二叉树（搜索树）的最近公共祖先

给定一个二叉搜索树, 找到该树中两个指定节点的最近公共祖先。

百度百科中最近公共祖先的定义为：“对于有根树 T 的两个结点 p、q，最近公共祖先表示为一个结点 x，满足 x 是 p、q 的祖先且 x 的深度尽可能大（一个节点也可以是它自己的祖先）。”

例如，给定如下二叉搜索树: root = [6,2,8,0,4,7,9,null,null,3,5]

java

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {

    public TreeNode lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode root, TreeNode p, TreeNode q) {
        
        return  recurr( root,  p,  q);
    }

    TreeNode recurr(TreeNode root, TreeNode p, TreeNode q){
        while(root!=null){
             if(root.val<p.val && root.val<q.val) root = root.right;
             else if(root.val>p.val&& root.val>q.val) root = root.left;
             else break;
        }
       
        return root;
    }
}

二叉树的最近公共祖先

/**

 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public TreeNode lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode root, TreeNode p, TreeNode q) {
        if(root==p|| root==q || root==null) return root; 
        TreeNode left = lowestCommonAncestor(root.left,p,q);
        TreeNode right = lowestCommonAncestor(root.right,p,q);
        if(left==null && right==null) return null;
        if(left==null) return right;
        if(right==null) return left;
        return root;
    }
}
