问题描述:
Given a binary tree, find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the tree.
According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

For example, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of nodes 5 and 1 is 3. Another example is LCA of nodes 5 and 4 is 5, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.
这道题没理解透,不好乱说话,请参考:这篇博客
代码如下:16ms
struct TreeNode* lowestCommonAncestor(struct TreeNode* root, struct TreeNode* p, struct TreeNode* q) {
if(root==NULL)
return NULL;
if(root==p||root==q)
return root;
struct TreeNode *left = lowestCommonAncestor(root->left,p,q);
struct TreeNode *right = lowestCommonAncestor(root->right,p,q);
if(left&&right){//p or q on both side of root
return root;
}
return left?left:right;
}
