Question:
Given a binary tree
struct TreeLinkNode { TreeLinkNode *left; TreeLinkNode *right; TreeLinkNode *next; }
Populate each next pointer to point to its next right node. If there is no next right node, the next pointer should be set to NULL
.
Initially, all next pointers are set to NULL
.
Note:
- You may only use constant extra space.
- You may assume that it is a perfect binary tree (ie, all leaves are at the same level, and every parent has two children).
For example,
Given the following perfect binary tree,
1 / \ 2 3 / \ / \ 4 5 6 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL / \ 2 -> 3 -> NULL / \ / \ 4->5->6->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) {
connect(root,null);
}
private void connect(TreeLinkNode root, TreeLinkNode nextTo) {
if(root==null){
return;
}else{
root.next = nextTo;
}
connect(root.left,root.right);
if(nextTo!=null){
connect(root.right,nextTo.left);
}else{
connect(root.right,null);
}
}
