LeetCode - Easy - 111. Minimum Depth of Binary Tree

Topic

Description

https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-depth-of-binary-tree/

Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.

The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.

Note: A leaf is a node with no children.

Example 1:

    3
   / \
  9  20
     / \
   15   7

Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: 2

Example 2:

2
 \
  3
   \
    4
     \
      5
       \
        6

Input: root = [2,null,3,null,4,null,5,null,6]
Output: 5

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 10⁵].
• -1000 <= Node.val <= 1000

Analysis

方法一：DFS

方法二：BFS

Submission

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Queue;

import com.lun.util.BinaryTree.TreeNode;

public class MinimumDepthOfBinaryTree {
	
	//方法一：DFS
	public int minDepth1(TreeNode root) {
		if (root == null)
			return 0;
		int left = minDepth1(root.left), right = minDepth1(root.right);
		return (left == 0 || right == 0) ? Math.max(left, right) + 1 : Math.min(left, right) + 1;//不是简单的返回Math.min(left, right) + 1，当左右子树其中一个高度为0，则选其中最大高度者（也就是另一子树高度）+ 1。这有点反直觉。
	}

	//方法二：BFS
	public int minDepth2(TreeNode root) {
		if (root == null) return 0;
		int depth = 1;
		Queue<TreeNode> q = new LinkedList<TreeNode>();
		q.offer(root);
		while (!q.isEmpty()) {
			int size = q.size();
			// for each level
			for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
				TreeNode node = q.poll();
				if (node.left == null && node.right == null) {
					return depth;
				}
				if (node.left != null) {
					q.offer(node.left);
				}
				if (node.right != null) {
					q.offer(node.right);
				}
			}
			depth++;
		}
		return depth;
	}
}
