题目说明

Given a binary tree, flatten it to a linked list in-place.

For example,

Given

    / \
2 5
/ \ \
3 4 6

The flattened tree should look like:

    \
2
\
3
\
4
\
5
\
6

题目分析

第一感觉是前序遍历,顺便打算在这题练习一下昨天学到的二级指针的写法XD,调的时候bug挺多的,可读性贼差,指针还是慎用啊……

以下为个人实现(C++,12ms):

/**
* 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:
void flatten(TreeNode* root, TreeNode** &rightRef) {
if (!root) return;
*rightRef = root; // put root to right
TreeNode* right = root->right; // store right ptr
rightRef = &root->right; // move rightRef
flatten(root->left, rightRef); // link left to right
flatten(right, rightRef); // link right to the tail of left
root->left = nullptr; // null left
} void flatten(TreeNode* root) {
TreeNode** right = &root;
flatten(root, right);
}
};

这是一种递归实现,讨论区看到了非递归实现,效率肯定要更高一些(C++,原帖):

void flatten(TreeNode *root) {
while (root) {
if (root->left && root->right) {
TreeNode* t = root->left;
while (t->right)
t = t->right;
t->right = root->right;
} if(root->left)
root->right = root->left;
root->left = NULL;
root = root->right;
}
}

这种算法思路是将结点的右分支(如果存在)放到左分支(如果存在)的最右边,然后再把左分支移动到右分支,因为任意一个结点至多被访问两次,所以时间复杂度是O(n)。

(LeetCode评测时间也不是这么靠谱的,试着提交了给出的8ms样例,结果还是12ms XD)
