Description:
Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.
The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
Note: A leaf is a node with no children.
Example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],
3
/ \
9 20
/ \
15 7
return its minimum depth = 2.
题意:求一颗二叉树中叶子节点到根节点的最短路径的深度;
解法:求一颗树的最小深度,也就是递归的求左右子树的最小深度;在递归求解的时候,我们需要特别判断的是当前节点是否是叶子节点,因此我们对一个节点的左右子节点中如果是一个空节点,返回一个较大值,则当前节点的左右子树最小深度就不会去计算那个子树中的空节点;
Java
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
class Solution {
public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
return root == null ? 0 : getMinDepth(root);
}
private int getMinDepth(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null) return Integer.MAX_VALUE;
if (root.left == null && root.right == null) return 1;
int left = getMinDepth(root.left);
int right = getMinDepth(root.right);
return left < right ? left + 1 : right + 1;
}
