面试题68:树中两个节点的最低公共祖先
题目要求:
输入一棵树的根节点,输入两个被观察节点,求这两个节点的最低(最近)公共祖先。
解题思路:
此题比较开放,主要是对于“树”没有做明确说明,所以原书中就对树的可能情况做了假设,然后就衍生出多种思路
1)如果是二叉,搜索树:
遍历找到比第一个节点大,比第二个节点小的节点即可
2)如果是父子间有双向指针的树:
由下往上看,转化为找两个链表的第一个公共节点问题
3)如果只是一个包含父到子的指针的普通树:
3.1)如果不能使用额外空间,从根节点开始判断他的子树是否包含那两个节点,找到最小的的子树即可
时间复杂度o(n^2)(此为最差,平均不太好算。。。),空间复杂度为o(1)
3.2) 如果能用额外空间,可以遍历两次(深度优先)获取根节点到那两个节点的路径,然后求两个路径的最后一个公共节点
时间复杂度o(n),空间复杂度o(logn)
(1)(2)比较简单。下面仅对(3),以下图所示的树为例,进行思路实现与求解验证
