[LeetCode] 270. Closest Binary Search Tree Value 最近的二分搜索树的值

 

Given a non-empty binary search tree and a target value, find the value in the BST that is closest to the target.

Note:

  • Given target value is a floating point.
  • You are guaranteed to have only one unique value in the BST that is closest to the target.

Example:

Input: root = [4,2,5,1,3], target = 3.714286

    4
   / \
  2   5
 / \
1   3

Output: 4

 

这道题让我们找一个二分搜索数的跟给定值最接近的一个节点值,由于是二分搜索树,所以博主最先想到用中序遍历来做,一个一个的比较,维护一个最小值,不停的更新,实际上这种方法并没有提高效率,用其他的遍历方法也可以,参见代码如下:

 

解法一:

class Solution {
public:
    int closestValue(TreeNode* root, double target) {
        double d = numeric_limits<double>::max();
        int res = 0;
        stack<TreeNode*> s;
        TreeNode *p = root;
        while (p || !s.empty()) {
            while (p) {
                s.push(p);
                p = p->left;
            }
            p = s.top(); s.pop();
            if (d >= abs(target - p->val)) {
                d = abs(target - p->val);
                res = p->val;
            }
            p = p->right;
        }
        return res;
    }
};

 

实际我们可以利用二分搜索树的特点 (左<根<右) 来快速定位,由于根节点是中间值,在往下遍历时,根据目标值和根节点的值大小关系来比较,如果目标值小于节点值,则应该找更小的值,于是到左子树去找,反之去右子树找,参见代码如下:

 

解法二:

class Solution {
public:
    int closestValue(TreeNode* root, double target) {
        int res = root->val;
        while (root) {
            if (abs(res - target) >= abs(root->val - target)) {
                res = root->val;
            }
            root = target < root->val ? root->left : root->right;
        }
        return res;
    }
};

 

以上两种方法都是迭代的方法,下面来看递归的写法,下面这种递归的写法和上面迭代的方法思路相同,都是根据二分搜索树的性质来优化查找,但是递归的写法用的是回溯法,先遍历到叶节点,然后一层一层的往回走,把最小值一层一层的运回来,参见代码如下:

 

解法三:

class Solution {
public:
    int closestValue(TreeNode* root, double target) {
        int a = root->val;
        TreeNode *t = target < a ? root->left : root->right;
        if (!t) return a;
        int b = closestValue(t, target);
        return abs(a - target) < abs(b - target) ? a : b;
    }
};

 

再来看另一种递归的写法,思路和上面的都相同,写法上略有不同,用if来分情况,参见代码如下:

 

解法三:

class Solution {
public:
    int closestValue(TreeNode* root, double target) {
        int res = root->val;
        if (target < root->val && root->left) {
            int l = closestValue(root->left, target);
            if (abs(res - target) >= abs(l - target)) res = l;
        } else if (target > root->val && root->right) {
            int r = closestValue(root->right, target);
            if (abs(res - target) >= abs(r - target)) res = r;
        }
        return res;
    }
};

 

最后来看一种分治法的写法,这种方法相当于解法一的递归写法,并没有利用到二分搜索树的性质来优化搜索,参见代码如下:

 

解法四:

class Solution {
public:
    int closestValue(TreeNode* root, double target) {
        double diff = numeric_limits<double>::max();
        int res = 0;
        helper(root, target, diff, res);
        return res;
    }
    void helper(TreeNode *root, double target, double &diff, int &res) {
        if (!root) return;
        if (diff >= abs(root->val - target)) {
            diff = abs(root->val - target);
            res = root->val;
        }
        helper(root->left, target, diff, res);
        helper(root->right, target, diff, res);
    }
};
