PROBLEM:
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.
SOLVE:
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
int minDepth(TreeNode *root) {
if(!root) return 0;
if(!root->left) return 1 + minDepth(root->right);
if(!root->right) return 1 + minDepth(root->left);
return 1+min(minDepth(root->left),minDepth(root->right));
}
};
注意:这里的“最小树高”指的是从根节点到叶节点的路径中节点个数,路径必须要从根节点开始到叶子节点结束。如一颗只含2个节点的树,“最小树高”==2,因为含有叶子节点的路径只有一条。
