The lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two nodes U and V in a tree is the deepest node that has both U and V as descendants.
A binary search tree (BST) is recursively defined as a binary tree which has the following properties:
The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key.
The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than or equal to the node's key.
Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.
Given any two nodes in a BST, you are supposed to find their LCA.
Input Specification:
Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line gives two positive integers: M (≤ 1,000), the number of pairs of nodes to be tested; and N (≤ 10,000), the number of keys in the BST, respectively. In the second line, N distinct integers are given as the preorder traversal sequence of the BST. Then M lines follow, each contains a pair of integer keys U and V. All the keys are in the range of int.
Output Specification:
For each given pair of U and V, print in a line LCA of U and V is A. if the LCA is found and A is the key. But if A is one of U and V, print X is an ancestor of Y. where X is A and Y is the other node. If U or V is not found in the BST, print in a line ERROR: U is not found. or ERROR: V is not found. or ERROR: U and V are not found…
Sample Input:
6 8
6 3 1 2 5 4 8 7
2 5
8 7
1 9
12 -3
0 8
99 99
Sample Output:
LCA of 2 and 5 is 3.
8 is an ancestor of 7.
ERROR: 9 is not found.
ERROR: 12 and -3 are not found.
ERROR: 0 is not found.
ERROR: 99 and 99 are not found.
题意:用先序遍历的方式给出一棵排序二叉树。让你回答n个询问。
找出每个询问的最近公共祖先。
思路:一般情况是先建立一棵树,完了之后就是用Lca。Lca有三种,使用树上倍
增,targain算法,dfs序列+RMQ算法。但是这个题目有点特殊,他是排序
二叉树,他有他自己的特性,其实就是二分,换而言之,对于给定的询问u
和v,我们在dfs遍历的第一个位于u,v之间的数,就是他们的最近公共祖先
为什么会是这样,这个和二叉树的特性有关,左子树一定小于等于根,右子
树一定大于根节点。我没办法证明,只能直观的理解一下。思路来自柳诺大
佬的博客。给出代码。其中set只是用来处理有些点不在这个树上。判重用
没其他用处。
