Question:
Given a binary tree, flatten it to a linked list in-place.
For example,
Given
1 / \ 2 5 / \ \ 3 4 6
The flattened tree should look like:
1 \ 2 \ 3 \ 4 \ 5 \ 6
Hints:
If you notice carefully in the flattened tree, each node's right child points to the next node of a pre-order traversal.
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public void flatten(TreeNode root) {
if(root==null) return;
visit(root);
}
private TreeNode visit(TreeNode cur) {
if(cur.left==null&&cur.right==null)
return cur;
TreeNode left = cur.left;
TreeNode right = cur.right;
cur.left = null;
if(left!=null){
cur.right = left;
cur = visit(left);
}
if(right!=null){
cur.right = right;
cur = visit(right);
}
return cur;
}
}
