leetcode-116 Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node

You are given a perfect binary tree where all leaves are on the same level, and every parent has two children. The binary tree has the following definition:

struct Node {
  int val;
  Node *left;
  Node *right;
  Node *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.

 

Example:

leetcode-116 Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node

Input: {"$id":"1","left":{"$id":"2","left":{"$id":"3","left":null,"next":null,"right":null,"val":4},"next":null,"right":{"$id":"4","left":null,"next":null,"right":null,"val":5},"val":2},"next":null,"right":{"$id":"5","left":{"$id":"6","left":null,"next":null,"right":null,"val":6},"next":null,"right":{"$id":"7","left":null,"next":null,"right":null,"val":7},"val":3},"val":1}

Output: {"$id":"1","left":{"$id":"2","left":{"$id":"3","left":null,"next":{"$id":"4","left":null,"next":{"$id":"5","left":null,"next":{"$id":"6","left":null,"next":null,"right":null,"val":7},"right":null,"val":6},"right":null,"val":5},"right":null,"val":4},"next":{"$id":"7","left":{"$ref":"5"},"next":null,"right":{"$ref":"6"},"val":3},"right":{"$ref":"4"},"val":2},"next":null,"right":{"$ref":"7"},"val":1}

Explanation: Given the above perfect binary tree (Figure A), your function should populate each next pointer to point to its next right node, just like in Figure B.

 

Note:

  • You may only use constant extra space.
  • Recursive approach is fine, implicit stack space does not count as extra space for this problem.

根据题意就是将每个节点与其有边的节点相连接,如果右边无节点则使用null链接,运用广度遍历:

/*
// Definition for a Node.
class Node {
    public int val;
    public Node left;
    public Node right;
    public Node next;

    public Node() {}

    public Node(int _val,Node _left,Node _right,Node _next) {
        val = _val;
        left = _left;
        right = _right;
        next = _next;
    }
};
*/
class Solution {
    public Node connect(Node root) {
        if(root == null){
            return null;
        }
        Queue<Node> nodes = new LinkedList<>();
        nodes.add(root);
        while(!nodes.isEmpty()) {
            int size = nodes.size();
            while(size > 0) {
                Node tmp = nodes.poll();
                size --;
                if(size == 0) {
                    tmp.next = null;
                }else {
                    tmp.next = nodes.peek();
                }
                if(tmp.left != null) nodes.add(tmp.left);
                if(tmp.right != null) nodes.add(tmp.right);
            }       
        }
        return root;
        
    }
}
