题目:
Implement an iterator over a binary search tree (BST). Your iterator will be initialized with the root node of a BST.
Calling next() will return the next smallest number in the BST.
Note: next() and hasNext() should run in average O(1) time and uses O(h) memory, where h is the height of the tree.
题意:
实现一个二叉搜索树的迭代器,开始时给定一个BST的根。调用next()函数能够返回当前的最小值,并且next以及hasNext函数都要做到平均是O(1)的时间复杂度,O(h)的空间复杂度。
思路:
注意是平均这个复杂度。采用非递归的中序遍历方法即可做到。使用栈保存一直到当前最小值的路径,每次出栈时,将该节点右子树到右子树最左边孩子的节点保存下来,因为每个节点最多只入栈一次,平均时间复杂度就是O(1)。
代码如下:
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class BSTIterator {
public:
BSTIterator(TreeNode *root)
{
while(root != NULL)
{
nodes.push(root);
root = root->left;
}
}
/** @return whether we have a next smallest number */
bool hasNext()
{
if(nodes.empty())return false;
else return true;
}
/** @return the next smallest number */
int next()
{
if(hasNext())
{
TreeNode* node = nodes.top();
nodes.pop();
int res = node->val;
node = node->right;
while(node != NULL)
{
nodes.push(node);
node = node->left;
}
return res;
}
else return -1;
}
private:
stack<TreeNode*> nodes;
};
/**
* Your BSTIterator will be called like this:
* BSTIterator i = BSTIterator(root);
* while (i.hasNext()) cout << i.next();
*/
