Given a binary tree
struct TreeLinkNode { TreeLinkNode *left; TreeLinkNode *right; TreeLinkNode *next; }
Populate each next pointer to point to its next right node. If there is no next right node, the next pointer should be set to NULL
.
Initially, all next pointers are set to NULL
.
Note:
- You may only use constant extra space.
- You may assume that it is a perfect binary tree (ie, all leaves are at the same level, and every parent has two children).
For example,
Given the following perfect binary tree,1 / \ 2 3 / \ / \ 4 5 6 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL / \ 2 -> 3 -> NULL / \ / \ 4->5->6->7 -> NULL
思路:一般层次遍历需要申请队列,但是有了next指针,我们只需记录每层最左的节点,所以可以做到use constant extra space
class Solution {public: void connect (TreeLinkNode *root){ TreeLinkNode* parent; TreeLinkNode* current; TreeLinkNode* nextParent = root; while(nextParent){ //new level started parent = nextParent; nextParent = parent->left; current = nextParent; if(!current) return; //add next pointer current->next = parent->right; current = current->next; if(!current) return; while(parent->next){ parent = parent->next; current->next = parent->left; current = current->next; if(!current) return; current->next = parent->right; current = current->next; if(!current) return; } } }};
