给定一棵二叉树,找到两个节点的最近公共父节点(LCA)。最近公共祖先是两个节点的公共的祖先节点且具有最大深度。
样例:
对于下面这棵二叉树
4
/ \
3 7
/ \
5 6
LCA(3, 5) = 4
LCA(5, 6) = 7
LCA(6, 7) = 7
这道题笔者最近在笔试中也遇到过,相对比较简单,代码如下:
/**
* Definition of TreeNode:
* class TreeNode {
* public:
* int val;
* TreeNode *left, *right;
* TreeNode(int val) {
* this->val = val;
* this->left = this->right = NULL;
* }
* }
*/
class Solution {
public:
/**
* @param root: The root of the binary search tree.
* @param A and B: two nodes in a Binary.
* @return: Return the least common ancestor(LCA) of the two nodes.
*/
TreeNode *lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode *root, TreeNode *A, TreeNode *B) {
if (root == NULL || A == root || B == root) return root;
TreeNode *left = lowestCommonAncestor(root->left, A, B);
TreeNode *right = lowestCommonAncestor(root->right, A, B);
if (left != NULL && right != NULL) return root;
return left ? left : right;
}
};
