https://leetcode.com/problems/populating-next-right-pointers-in-each-node/
问题描述
You are given a perfect binary tree where all leaves are on the same level, and every parent has two children. The binary tree has the following definition:
struct Node {
int val;
Node *left;
Node *right;
Node *next;
}
Populate each next pointer to point to its next right node. If there is no next right node, the next pointer should be set to NULL
.
Initially, all next pointers are set to NULL
.
Follow up:
- You may only use constant extra space.
- Recursive approach is fine, you may assume implicit stack space does not count as extra space for this problem.
Example 1:
Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
Output: [1,#,2,3,#,4,5,6,7,#]
Explanation: Given the above perfect binary tree (Figure A), your function should populate each next pointer to point to its next right node, just like in Figure B. The serialized output is in level order as connected by the next pointers, with '#' signifying the end of each level.
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the given tree is less than
4096
. -1000 <= node.val <= 1000
解决方案
从上述图示,可以总结:
- 根节点的next指针一定是null
- 结点node的左节点的next指针一定是node的右节点,
- 若node结点有next指针,则结点node的右节点的next指针一定是node结点的next指针的左节点;否则,置为null
