[LeetCode]109. Convert Sorted List to Binary Search Tree

有序列表转为二叉搜索树

题目描述

Given a singly linked list where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST.

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.

Example1:

  Given the sorted linked list: [-10,-3,0,5,9],
    One possible answer is: [0,-3,9,-10,null,5], which represents the following height balanced BST:

          0
         / \
       -3   9
       /   /
     -10  5

解题思路

  • 因为链表是有序的,这样找出链表的中间节点(利用快慢指针法)作为树的根节点,这样中间结点的值作为根节点的值
  • 左边所有节点作为该树的左子树,右边同理,这样不断递归下去即可。
/**
 * Definition for singly-linked list.
 * struct ListNode {
 *     int val;
 *     ListNode *next;
 *     ListNode(int x) : val(x), next(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
/**
 * 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* sortedListToBST(ListNode* head) {
        if(head == nullptr){
            return nullptr;
        }
        return convertBST(head, nullptr);
    }
    TreeNode* convertBST(ListNode* head, ListNode* tail){
        if(head == tail){
            return nullptr;
        }
        ListNode* slow = head;
        ListNode* fast = head;
        while(fast != tail && fast -> next != tail){    // 这里需要注意,不应该为nullptr,而是不等于tail,分为左右两边
            fast = fast -> next -> next;
            slow = slow -> next;
        }
        TreeNode* root = new TreeNode(slow -> val);
        root -> left = convertBST(head, slow);
        root -> right = convertBST(slow -> next, tail);
        return root;
    }
};
