Chapter7: question 49

49. 把字符串转换为整数

很多细节需要注意。（空格，符号，溢出等）

Go: 8. String to Integer (atoi) 

50. 树种两个结点的最低公共祖先

A. 若是二叉搜索树，直接与根结点对比。 若都大于根节点，则在友子树；若都小于根节点，则在左子树；若根节点介于两数之间，则根节点即为答案。

B. 普通树，若是孩子节点有指向父节点的指针，则问题变为求两个链表的第一个公共结点。 如：37题。

C. 普通树：思路1，若一个结点的子树同时包含两个结点，而它的任一孩子结点的子树却不能同时包含，则该节点即为答案。需要重复遍历，时间复杂度较高。

思路2：先序优先遍历，分别记录从根节点到两个结点的路径。然后转换为求第一个公共结点问题。
