Follow up for problem "Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node".
What if the given tree could be any binary tree? Would your previous solution still work?
Note:
- You may only use constant extra space.
For example,
Given the following binary tree,
1 / \ 2 3 / \ \ 4 5 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL / \ 2 -> 3 -> NULL / \ \ 4-> 5 -> 7 -> NULL
/**
* Definition for binary tree with next pointer.
* public class TreeLinkNode {
* int val;
* TreeLinkNode left, right, next;
* TreeLinkNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public void connect(TreeLinkNode root) {
// Note: The Solution object is instantiated only once and is reused by each test case.
if(root == null)
return ;
Queue<TreeLinkNode> que = new LinkedList<TreeLinkNode>();
que.add(root);
que.add(null);
while(true)
{
//poll() method return the head of queue and remove it.
TreeLinkNode cur = que.poll();
if(que.isEmpty())
break;
if(cur != null)
{
cur.next = que.peek();
}
else
{
que.add(null);
continue;
}
if(cur.left != null)
que.add(cur.left);
if(cur.right != null)
que.add(cur.right);
}
}
}
