Challenge
Do it in recursion is acceptable, can you do it without recursion?
题解1 - Recursive
二叉树的题用递归的思想求解自然是最容易的,此题要求为交换左右子节点,故递归交换之即可。具体实现可分返回值为空或者二叉树节点两种情况,返回值为节点的情况理解起来相对不那么直观一些。
C++ - return void
/**
 * Definition of TreeNode:
 * class TreeNode {
 * public:
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left, *right;
 *     TreeNode(int val) {
 *         this->val = val;
 *         this->left = this->right = NULL;
 *     }
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    /**
     * @param root: a TreeNode, the root of the binary tree
     * @return: nothing
     */
    void invertBinaryTree(TreeNode *root) {
        if (root == NULL) return;
        TreeNode *temp = root->left;
        root->left = root->right;
        root->right = temp;
        invertBinaryTree(root->left);
        invertBinaryTree(root->right);
    }
};
C++ - return TreeNode *
/**
 * 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* invertTree(TreeNode* root) {
        if (root == NULL) return NULL;
        TreeNode *temp = root->left;
        root->left = invertTree(root->right);
        root->right = invertTree(temp);
        return root;
    }
};
源码分析
分三块实现,首先是节点为空的情况,然后使用临时变量交换左右节点,最后递归调用,递归调用的正确性可通过画图理解。
复杂度分析
每个节点遍历一次,时间复杂度为 , 使用了临时变量,空间复杂度为 .
题解2 - Iterative
递归的实现非常简单,那么非递归的如何实现呢?如果将递归改写成栈的实现,那么简单来讲就需要两个栈了,稍显复杂。其实仔细观察此题可发现使用 level-order 的遍历次序也可实现。即从根节点开始入队,交换左右节点,并将非空的左右子节点入队,从队列中取出节点,交换之,直至队列为空。
C++
/**
 * Definition of TreeNode:
 * class TreeNode {
 * public:
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left, *right;
 *     TreeNode(int val) {
 *         this->val = val;
 *         this->left = this->right = NULL;
 *     }
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    /**
     * @param root: a TreeNode, the root of the binary tree
     * @return: nothing
     */
    void invertBinaryTree(TreeNode *root) {
        if (root == NULL) return;
        queue<TreeNode*> q;
        q.push(root);
        while (!q.empty()) {
            // pop out the front node
            TreeNode *node = q.front();
            q.pop();
            // swap between left and right pointer
            swap(node->left, node->right);
            // push non-NULL node
            if (node->left != NULL) q.push(node->left);
            if (node->right != NULL) q.push(node->right);
        }
    }
};
源码分析
交换左右指针后需要判断子节点是否非空,仅入队非空子节点。
复杂度分析
遍历每一个节点,时间复杂度为 , 使用了队列,最多存储最下一层子节点数目,最多只有总节点数的一半,故最坏情况下 .
