  • [leetcode]236. LCA of a Binary Tree二叉树最近公共祖先

     

    Given a binary tree, find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the tree.

    According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes p and q as the lowest node in T that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

    Given the following binary search tree:  root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4]

         _______3______
           /              
        ___5__          ___1__
       /              /      
       6      _2       0       8
             /  
             7   4

    Example 1:

    Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 1
    Output: 3
    Explanation: The LCA of of nodes 5 and 1 is 3.

    Example 2:

    Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 4
    Output: 5
    Explanation: The LCA of nodes 5 and 4 is 5, since a node can be a descendant of itself
                 according to the LCA definition.

    题意:

    二叉树最近公共祖先

    思路:

    用自底向上(bottom-up)的思路,先看看是否能在root的左子树中找到pq,再看看能否在右子树中找到,

    • 如果两边都能找到,说明当前节点就是最近公共祖先
    • 如果左边没找到,则说明pq都在右子树
    • 如果右边没找到,则说明pq都在左子树

    recursion 

    1.  search for either of two nodes(node1, node2) whose lca starting from root 

    2. any of the node is found,  return that node to its parent

    3. any node gets a not null node from left side and a not null node from right side, it is lca. return that node to its parent
