LeetCode 971. Flip Binary Tree To Match Preorder Traversal

原题链接在这里：https://leetcode.com/problems/flip-binary-tree-to-match-preorder-traversal/

题目：

Given a binary tree with N nodes, each node has a different value from {1, ..., N}.

A node in this binary tree can be flipped by swapping the left child and the right child of that node.

Consider the sequence of N values reported by a preorder traversal starting from the root.  Call such a sequence of N values the voyage of the tree.

(Recall that a preorder traversal of a node means we report the current node's value, then preorder-traverse the left child, then preorder-traverse the right child.)

Our goal is to flip the least number of nodes in the tree so that the voyage of the tree matches the voyage we are given.

If we can do so, then return a list of the values of all nodes flipped.  You may return the answer in any order.

If we cannot do so, then return the list [-1].

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2], voyage = [2,1]
Output: [-1]

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,3], voyage = [1,3,2]
Output: [1]

Example 3:

Input: root = [1,2,3], voyage = [1,2,3]
Output: []

Note:

1. 1 <= N <= 100

题解：

Use DFS to check if current subtree is eligible to flip.

If current root's val != voyage[i], then it is not eligible.

Otherwise, i++. And if left child's val != voyage[i], flip, add root.val to res. Check right subtree first, then left.

If the whole tree is not eligible to flip, return -1.

Time Complexity: O(n).

Space: O(h).

AC Java:

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    List<Integer> res = new ArrayList<Integer>();
    int i = 0;
    
    public List<Integer> flipMatchVoyage(TreeNode root, int[] voyage) {
        return dfs(root, voyage) ? res : Arrays.asList(-1);
    }
    
    private boolean dfs(TreeNode root, int[] voyage){
        if(root == null){
            return true;
        }
        
        if(root.val != voyage[i]){
            return false;
        }
        
        i++;
        if(root.left != null && root.left.val != voyage[i]){
            res.add(root.val);
            return dfs(root.right, voyage) && dfs(root.left, voyage);
        }
        
        return dfs(root.left, voyage) && dfs(root.right, voyage);
    }
}
