原题
Given a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as L and R, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [L, R] (R >= L). You might need to change the root of the tree, so the result should return the new root of the trimmed binary search tree.
Example 1:
Input:
1
/
0 2
L = 1
R = 2
Output:
1
2
Example 2:
Input:
3
/
0 4
2
/
1
L = 1
R = 3
Output:
3
/
2
/
1
解法
递归, 使用分治法. Base case是当root为空时, 返回None. 分三种情况: 1) root的值比L小, 那么去掉root和它的左子树, 修剪右子树 2) root的值比R大, 那么去掉root和它的右子树, 修剪左子树 3) root的值在L和R之间, 那么保留root, 修剪左右子树.
Time: O(n) n为节点数
Space: O(1)
