Diameter of Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, you need to compute the length of the diameter of the tree. The diameter of a binary tree is the length of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the root.

Example:
Given a binary tree

1
2
3
4
5
    1
/ \
2 3
/ \
4 5

Return 3, which is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].

Note: The length of path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.


Solution

题目要求分析:给定一棵二叉树,要求找到它的直径。二叉树直径定义为其中距离最远的两个节点之间的距离。

解法:

由题,我们知道直径不一定经过当前树的根结点。

因此,对以当前结点为根结点的(子)树,根据是否经过其根结点,可以分为两种情况,递归思想如下:

  1. 对于非空结点,计算:
    1. 左子树的深度 + 右子树的深度 = 经过当前结点的最长距离;
    2. 左子树的直径(递归,不经过根结点);
    3. 右子树的直径(递归,不经过根结点);
  2. 对以上三值,取最大值即为以当前结点为根的二叉树的直径。

int getdepth(TreeNode* root) {
if (!root) return 0;
return 1 + max(getdepth(root->left), getdepth(root->right));
}
int diameterOfBinaryTree(TreeNode* root) {
if (!root) return 0;
int cur = getdepth(root->left) + getdepth(root->right);
return max(cur, max(diameterOfBinaryTree(root->left), diameterOfBinaryTree(root->right)));
}
