Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.
The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
解题思路:
先明白最小路径的定义:从根结点到最近叶子结点的所包含的结点个数(包括根)。
举个例子:
Example1:
0
return 1
Example2:
0
/
-3
\
5
return 3
Example3:
0
/ \
-3 9
/
5
return 2
观察几个例子,发现对于例子2,我们只需要找到最大深度即可;对于例子3,我们只需要找到最小深度即可。而例子2和3的区别就在于根节点的左右子树是否全为非空。如果全为非空,找到最小深度;否则,找到最大深度。
Python实现:
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
# def __init__(self, x):
# self.val = x
# self.left = None
# self.right = None
class Solution:
def minDepth(self, root):
"""
:type root: TreeNode
:rtype: int
"""
if root == None:
return 0
if root.left != None and root.right != None:
return min(self.minDepth(root.left), self.minDepth(root.right)) + 1
else:
return max(self.minDepth(root.left), self.minDepth(root.right)) + 1
