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,
1
/ \
2 3
/ \ \
4 5 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL
/ \
2 -> 3 -> NULL
/ \ \
4-> 5 -> 7 -> NULL
写代码时陷入了各种复杂情况的判断,写的举步维艰。后面参考了下别人的代码,发现通过使用哨兵节点,可以很大的简化复杂度,写简洁优雅代码真是技巧性的活。
代码如下:
/**
* Definition for binary tree with next pointer.
* struct TreeLinkNode {
* int val;
* TreeLinkNode *left, *right, *next;
* TreeLinkNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
void connect(TreeLinkNode *root) {
while(root)
{
TreeLinkNode* temp = new TreeLinkNode(0);
TreeLinkNode* cur = temp;
while(root)
{
if(root->left != NULL)
{
cur->next = root->left;
cur = cur->next;
}
if(root->right != NULL)
{
cur->next = root->right;
cur = cur->next;
}
root = root->next;
}
root = temp->next;
temp->next = NULL;
delete temp;
}
}
};
