一、问题描述

Given a binary tree

    struct TreeLinkNode {      TreeLinkNode *left;      TreeLinkNode *right;      TreeLinkNode *next;    }

Populate each next pointer to point to its next right node. If there is no next right node, the next pointer should be set to NULL.

Initially, all next pointers are set to NULL.

Note:

  • You may only use constant extra space.
  • You may assume that it is a perfect binary tree (ie, all leaves are at the same level, and every parent has two children).

For example,
Given the following perfect binary tree,

         1       /  \      2    3     / \  / \    4  5  6  7

After calling your function, the tree should look like:

         1 -> NULL       /  \      2 -> 3 -> NULL     / \  / \    4->5->6->7 -> NULL
二、问题分析

首先明确是对二叉树的操作,而二叉树最常见的操作无非就是遍历,说到遍历无非就是前中后序遍历以及层次遍历。对应到题目中,我们首先考虑到的可能是层次遍历,然后把每一层直接链起来就行了,但层次遍历需要使用一个辅助的队列,而题目说You may only use constant extra space.显然有更好的方式。显然preOrderTraverse即可,但是遍历的时候我们需要注意,如果两个节点有相同的父节点那么很容易操作,反之呢,即两个节点没有相同的父节点但又形式上相邻,比如途中的5和6,仔细看图我们发现5和6的父节点是兄弟节点,即有next指针不为空。

三、Java AC代码

public void connect(TreeLinkNode root) {        if (root==null) {return ;}if (root.left!=null && root.right!=null) {root.left.next=root.right;}if(root.next!=null && root.right!=null){    root.right.next = root.next.left;}connect(root.left);connect(root.right);    }
