LeetCode 110 Balanced Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, determine if it is height-balanced.

For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as:

a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1.

Example 1:

Given the following tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]:

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

Return true.

Example 2:

Given the following tree [1,2,2,3,3,null,null,4,4]:

       1
      / \
     2   2
    / \
   3   3
  / \
 4   4

代码：

 

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    bool isBalanced(TreeNode* root) {
        if(root == NULL)
            return true;
        int leftdepth = depth(root->left);
        int rightdepth = depth(root->right);
        if(abs(leftdepth-rightdepth)>=2)//这一步优化很重要，运行时间可以从8ms减少到4ms
            return false;
        else
            return isBalanced(root->left) && isBalanced(root->right);
    }
    int depth(TreeNode* root){
        if(root == NULL) return 0;
        return max(depth(root->left),depth(root->right))+1;
    }
    
};
