Given a binary tree where all the right nodes are either leaf nodes with a sibling (a left node that shares the same parent node) or empty, flip it upside down and turn it into a tree where the original right nodes turned into left leaf nodes. Return the new root.
Example:
Input: [1,2,3,4,5]
1
/ \
2 3
/ \
4 5
Output: return the root of the binary tree [4,5,2,#,#,3,1]
4
/ \
5 2
/ \
3 1
Clarification:
Confused what [4,5,2,#,#,3,1] means? Read more below on how binary tree is serialized on OJ.
The serialization of a binary tree follows a level order traversal, where '#' signifies a path terminator where no node exists below.
Here's an example:
1
/ \
2 3
/
4
\
5
The above binary tree is serialized as [1,2,3,#,#,4,#,#,5].
这道题让我们把一棵二叉树上下颠倒一下，而且限制了右节点要么为空要么一定会有对应的左节点。上下颠倒后原来二叉树的最左子节点变成了根节点，其对应的右节点变成了其左子节点，其父节点变成了其右子节点，相当于顺时针旋转了一下。对于一般树的题都会有迭代和递归两种解法，这道题也不例外，先来看看递归的解法。对于一个根节点来说，目标是将其左子节点变为根节点，右子节点变为左子节点，原根节点变为右子节点，首先判断这个根节点是否存在，且其有没有左子节点，如果不满足这两个条件的话，直接返回即可，不需要翻转操作。那么不停的对左子节点调用递归函数，直到到达最左子节点开始翻转，翻转好最左子节点后，开始回到上一个左子节点继续翻转即可，直至翻转完整棵树，参见代码如下：
解法一：
class Solution {
public:
TreeNode *upsideDownBinaryTree(TreeNode *root) {
if (!root || !root->left) return root;
TreeNode *l = root->left, *r = root->right;
TreeNode *res = upsideDownBinaryTree(l);
l->left = r;
l->right = root;
root->left = NULL;
root->right = NULL;
return res;
}
};
下面我们来看迭代的方法，和递归方法相反的时，这个是从上往下开始翻转，直至翻转到最左子节点，参见代码如下：
解法二：
class Solution {
public:
TreeNode *upsideDownBinaryTree(TreeNode *root) {
TreeNode *cur = root, *pre = NULL, *next = NULL, *tmp = NULL;
while (cur) {
next = cur->left;
cur->left = tmp;
tmp = cur->right;
cur->right = pre;
pre = cur;
cur = next;
}
return pre;
}
};
