[LeetCode] Binary Tree Preorder Traversal

Given a binary tree, return the preorder traversal of its nodes' values.

For example:
Given binary tree {1,#,2,3},

   1
    \
     2
    /
   3

 

return [1,2,3].

Note: Recursive solution is trivial, could you do it iteratively?

 解题思路:

用迭代的方法实现二叉树的遍历,需要借助一些数据结构,比如list,stack等。首先在stack中push入当前的root,由于是前序遍历,故root的value是先于左子树和右子树访问的,故pop取出一个结点,将它的value加入访问序列。之后压入它的右子树和左子树。直到stack为空。

观察这个过程可以发现,每一个node是最先访问的,然后是其左子树,右子树。

/**
 * Definition for binary tree
 * struct TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left;
 *     TreeNode *right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
    vector<int> preorderTraversal(TreeNode *root) {
        // IMPORTANT: Please reset any member data you declared, as
        // the same Solution instance will be reused for each test case.
        vector<int> ans;
        list<TreeNode*> node_list;
        if(root == NULL) return ans;
        node_list.push_front(root);
        while(!node_list.empty())
        {
            TreeNode *cur = node_list.front();
            node_list.pop_front();
            ans.push_back(cur -> val);
            if(cur -> right != NULL) node_list.push_front(cur -> right);
            if(cur -> left != NULL) node_list.push_front(cur -> left);
        }
        
        return ans;
    }
};
