leetcode 222: Count Complete Tree Nodes

Count Complete Tree Nodes

Total Accepted: 93 Total Submissions: 678

Given a complete binary tree, count the number of nodes.

Definition of a complete binary tree from Wikipedia:
In a complete binary tree every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, and all nodes in the last level are as far left as possible. It can have between 1 and 2^h nodes inclusive at the last level h.

[思路]

用暴力法, recursive求会超时 O(N).   如果从某节点一直向左的高度 = 一直向右的高度, 那么以该节点为root的子树一定是complete binary tree. 而 complete binary tree的节点数,可以用公式算出 2^h - 1. 如果高度不相等, 则递归调用 return countNode(left) + countNode(right) + 1.  复杂度为O(h^2)

        if(l==r) {
            return (2<<(l-1)) - 1;
