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)

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 }

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 }
