问题:
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.
大意:
给出一个二叉树,找到他最小的深度。
最小的深度是指从根节点到叶子节点距离最短的节点数。
思路:
这道题要找到最短的深度,个人认为更应该用广度优先遍历来做,一层一层地扫过去,哪一层有叶子节点了,就不扫了,把深度返回来。如果用深度优先遍历,每一条路都要走完,要所有路径都走到最后才能确定最短的。
广度优先取一个队列来记录每一层的节点数,利用队列先进先出的特性,一层层扫,每次扫到下一层的都加到队尾,把当前层的个数扫完后就将层数加一,直到找到叶子节点就直接返回当前找的深度。
代码(Java):
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public int minDepth(TreeNode root) {
Queue<TreeNode> queue = new LinkedList<TreeNode>();
if (root == null) return 0;
int result = 1;
queue.offer(root);
while (!queue.isEmpty()) {
int levelNum = queue.size();
for (int i = 0; i < levelNum; i++) {
if (queue.peek().left == null && queue.peek().right == null) return result;
if (queue.peek().left != null) queue.offer(queue.peek().left);
if (queue.peek().right != null) queue.offer(queue.peek().right);
queue.poll();
}
result++;
}
return result;
}
}
