【LeetCode】Verify Preorder Serialization of a Binary Tree(331)

1. Description

  One way to serialize a binary tree is to use pre-order traversal. When we encounter a non-null node, we record the node's value. If it is a null node, we record using a sentinel value such as #.

     _9_
/ \
3 2
/ \ / \
4 1 # 6
/ \ / \ / \
# # # # # #

For example, the above binary tree can be serialized to the string "9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#", where # represents a null node.

Given a string of comma separated values, verify whether it is a correct preorder traversal serialization of a binary tree. Find an algorithm without reconstructing the tree.

Each comma separated value in the string must be either an integer or a character '#' representing null pointer.

You may assume that the input format is always valid, for example it could never contain two consecutive commas such as "1,,3".

Example 1:
"9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#"
Return true

Example 2:
"1,#"
Return false

Example 3:
"9,#,#,1"
Return false

2. Answer

  

public class Solution {
public static boolean isValidSerialization(String preorder) {
String[] strs = preorder.split(",");
int degree = -1; // root has no indegree, for compensate init with -1
for (String str : strs) {
degree++; // all nodes have 1 indegree (root compensated)
if (degree > 0) { // total degree should never exceeds 0
return false;
}
if (!str.equals("#")) {// only non-leaf node has 2 outdegree
degree -= 2;
}
}
return degree == 0;
}
}
