题目:
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.
代码:
/**
* 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:
int minDepth(TreeNode* root) {
if(!root)return 0;
if(!root->left&&!root->right)return 1;
if(!root->left)return minDepth(root->right)+1;
if(!root->right)return minDepth(root->left)+1;
int l=minDepth(root->left);
int r=minDepth(root->right);
return min(l,r)+1;
}
};
想法:
理清题意,最短路径应该是根节点到一个叶节点的最小的距离
