把二元查找树转变成排序的双向链表
题目:输入一棵二元查找树,将该二元查找树转换成一个排序的双向链表。要求不能创建任何新的结点,只调整指针的指向。
比如将二元查找树
10
/ \
6 14
/ \ / \
4 8 12 16
转换成双向链表
4=6=8=10=12=14=16。
分析:本题是微软的面试题。很多与树相关的题目都是用递归的思路来解决,本题也不例外。下面我们用两种不同的递归思路来分析。
思路一:当我们到达某一结点准备调整以该结点为根结点的子树时,先调整其左子树将左子树转换成一个排好序的左子链表,再调整其右子树转换右子链表。最近链接左子链表的最右结点(左子树的最大结点)、当前结点和右子链表的最左结点(右子树的最小结点)。从树的根结点开始递归调整所有结点。
思路二:我们可以中序遍历整棵树。按照这个方式遍历树,比较小的结点先访问。如果我们每访问一个结点,假设之前访问过的结点已经调整成一个排序双向链表,我们再把调整当前结点的指针将其链接到链表的末尾。当所有结点都访问过之后,整棵树也就转换成一个排序双向链表了。
参考代码:
首先我们定义二元查找树结点的数据结构如下:
1 struct BSTreeNode // a node in the binary search tree 2 { 3 int m_nValue; // value of node 4 BSTreeNode *m_pLeft; // left child of node 5 BSTreeNode *m_pRight; // right child of node 6 };
思路一对应的代码:
1 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 2 // Covert a sub binary-search-tree into a sorted double-linked list 3 // Input: pNode - the head of the sub tree 4 // asRight - whether pNode is the right child of its parent 5 // Output: if asRight is true, return the least node in the sub-tree 6 // else return the greatest node in the sub-tree 7 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 8 BSTreeNode* ConvertNode(BSTreeNode* pNode, bool asRight) 9 { 10 if(!pNode) 11 return NULL; 12 13 BSTreeNode *pLeft = NULL; 14 BSTreeNode *pRight = NULL; 15 16 // Convert the left sub-tree 17 if(pNode->m_pLeft) 18 pLeft = ConvertNode(pNode->m_pLeft, false); 19 20 // Connect the greatest node in the left sub-tree to the current node 21 if(pLeft) 22 { 23 pLeft->m_pRight = pNode; 24 pNode->m_pLeft = pLeft; 25 } 26 27 // Convert the right sub-tree 28 if(pNode->m_pRight) 29 pRight = ConvertNode(pNode->m_pRight, true); 30 31 // Connect the least node in the right sub-tree to the current node 32 if(pRight) 33 { 34 pNode->m_pRight = pRight; 35 pRight->m_pLeft = pNode; 36 } 37 38 BSTreeNode *pTemp = pNode; 39 40 // If the current node is the right child of its parent, 41 // return the least node in the tree whose root is the current node 42 if(asRight) 43 { 44 while(pTemp->m_pLeft) 45 pTemp = pTemp->m_pLeft; 46 } 47 // If the current node is the left child of its parent, 48 // return the greatest node in the tree whose root is the current node 49 else 50 { 51 while(pTemp->m_pRight) 52 pTemp = pTemp->m_pRight; 53 } 54 55 return pTemp; 56 } 57 58 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 59 // Covert a binary search tree into a sorted double-linked list 60 // Input: the head of tree 61 // Output: the head of sorted double-linked list 62 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 63 BSTreeNode* Convert(BSTreeNode* pHeadOfTree) 64 { 65 // As we want to return the head of the sorted double-linked list, 66 // we set the second parameter to be true 67 return ConvertNode(pHeadOfTree, true); 68 }
思路二对应的代码:
1 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 2 // Covert a sub binary-search-tree into a sorted double-linked list 3 // Input: pNode - the head of the sub tree 4 // pLastNodeInList - the tail of the double-linked list 5 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 6 void ConvertNode(BSTreeNode* pNode, BSTreeNode*& pLastNodeInList) 7 { 8 if(pNode == NULL) 9 return; 10 11 BSTreeNode *pCurrent = pNode; 12 13 // Convert the left sub-tree 14 if (pCurrent->m_pLeft != NULL) 15 ConvertNode(pCurrent->m_pLeft, pLastNodeInList); 16 17 // Put the current node into the double-linked list 18 pCurrent->m_pLeft = pLastNodeInList; 19 if(pLastNodeInList != NULL) 20 pLastNodeInList->m_pRight = pCurrent; 21 22 pLastNodeInList = pCurrent; 23 24 // Convert the right sub-tree 25 if (pCurrent->m_pRight != NULL) 26 ConvertNode(pCurrent->m_pRight, pLastNodeInList); 27 } 28 29 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 30 // Covert a binary search tree into a sorted double-linked list 31 // Input: pHeadOfTree - the head of tree 32 // Output: the head of sorted double-linked list 33 /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// 34 BSTreeNode* Convert_Solution1(BSTreeNode* pHeadOfTree) 35 { 36 BSTreeNode *pLastNodeInList = NULL; 37 ConvertNode(pHeadOfTree, pLastNodeInList); 38 39 // Get the head of the double-linked list 40 BSTreeNode *pHeadOfList = pLastNodeInList; 41 while(pHeadOfList && pHeadOfList->m_pLeft) 42 pHeadOfList = pHeadOfList->m_pLeft; 43 44 return pHeadOfList; 45 }
