Given a binary search tree (BST) with duplicates, find all the mode(s) (the most frequently occurred element) in the given BST.

Assume a BST is defined as follows:

  • The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than or equal to the node's key.
  • The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than or equal to the node's key.
  • Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

For example:
Given BST [1,null,2,2],

   1    \     2    /   2

return [2].

Note: If a tree has more than one mode, you can return them in any order.

Follow up: Could you do that without using any extra space? (Assume that the implicit stack space incurred due to recursion does not count).

思路:

因为可能有多个个数相同的元素且频率最大,所以搜索两遍:第一遍判断有几个元素是个数最大的(1或者n),方便最后返回结果;第二遍把个数最大的元素保存下来。

由于空间复杂度有限制,所以采用Morris  Traversal(线索二叉树)遍历二叉树,这样不适用额外的空间(普通递归或非递归遍历使用栈O(n))。

空间复杂度:O(1)

时间复杂度:O(n)。(因为Morris Traversal时间复杂度是O(n))

写的听明白的,也不复杂
