LeetCode 【235. Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Search Tree】

Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the BST.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

For example, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of nodes 2 and 8 is 6. Another example is LCA of nodes 2 and 4 is 2, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

思路1.分别和当前节点比较(最开始是根节点)如果p->val和q->val一个大于当前节点值,一个小于当前节点值,则表示当前节点是他们的最低公共祖先,如果两个的大于当前节点的值,则递归调用右子树,如果都小于,则递归调用左子树。

/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
TreeNode* lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) {
if(p->val > root->val&&q->val > root->val)
{ root = lowestCommonAncestor(root->right,p,q);
}
if(p->val < root->val&&q->val < root->val)
{
root = lowestCommonAncestor(root->left,p,q);
}
return root;
}
};
