题目:
Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.
The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
思路:
利用递归的方法,当左右子节点都是NULL的时候能够判断当前节点是叶子节点。类似http://blog.csdn.net/lanxu_yy/article/details/11785211的完整代码见方法2,方法1为简化的版本。
代码:
方法1:
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode *root) {
if(root==NULL)
{
return 0;
}
else
{
int maxLeft = maxDepth(root->left);
int maxRight = maxDepth(root->right);
return maxLeft<maxRight?maxRight+1:maxLeft+1;
}
}
};
方法2:
/**
* Definition for binary tree
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int maxDepth(TreeNode *root) {
if(root == NULL){
return 0;
}
else if(root->left == NULL && root->right == NULL){
return 1;
}
else if(root->left == NULL){
return maxDepth(root->right) + 1;
}else if(root->right == NULL){
return maxDepth(root->left) + 1;
}
else{
int l = maxDepth(root->left);
int r = maxDepth(root->right);
return (l > r ? l : r) + 1;
}
}
};
