Follow up for problem "Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node".
What if the given tree could be any binary tree? Would your previous solution still work?
Note:
- You may only use constant extra space.
For example,
Given the following binary tree,
Given the following binary tree,
1
/ \
2 3
/ \ \
4 5 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL
/ \
2 -> 3 -> NULL
/ \ \
4-> 5 -> 7 -> NULL
Solution:
BFS transformation question.Traverse the tree level by level and maintain a previous pointer at each level.
/**
* 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) {
ArrayList queue = new ArrayList();
if(root == null) return;
queue.add(root);
int currentLevelNum = 1;
int nextLevelNum = 0;
while(!queue.isEmpty()){
boolean leftMost = true;
TreeLinkNode prev = root; // random initialization.
while(currentLevelNum > 0){
currentLevelNum--;
TreeLinkNode node = queue.remove(0);
if(node.left != null){
queue.add(node.left);
nextLevelNum++;
if(leftMost){prev = node.left; leftMost = false;}
else{prev.next = node.left; prev = node.left;}
}
if(node.right != null){
queue.add(node.right);
nextLevelNum++;
if(leftMost){prev = node.right; leftMost = false;}
else{prev.next = node.right; prev = node.right;}
}
}
currentLevelNum = nextLevelNum;
nextLevelNum = 0;
}
}
}
