Leetcode: Balanced Binary Tree
Given a binary tree, determine if it is height-balanced. For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1.
很锻炼DP/recursive思路的一道题,个人感觉DP/recursive算是比较难写的题目了。这道题解法的巧妙之处在于巧用-1,并且使用临时存储,节省了很多开支。这道题同时也在Career Cup上面出现过
这道题我两次调试通过,第一次错是因为input{}, output false, expected true
我的算法只有一层递归(因为巧用-1的原因),runs in O(N) time, andO(H) space
1 public class Solution { 2 public boolean isBalanced(TreeNode root) { 3 if (root == null) return true; 4 if (checkBalance(root) != -1) return true; 5 else return false; 6 } 7 8 public int checkBalance(TreeNode root) { 9 if (root == null) return 0; 10 int leftHeight = checkBalance(root.left); 11 int rightHeight = checkBalance(root.right); 12 if (leftHeight == -1 || rightHeight == -1) return -1; 13 else if (Math.abs(leftHeight - rightHeight) > 1) return -1; 14 return Math.max(leftHeight, rightHeight) + 1; 15 } 16 }
