Follow up for problem "Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node".
What if the given tree could be any binary tree? Would your previous solution still work?
Note:
- You may only use constant extra space.
For example,
Given the following binary tree,
1 / \ 2 3 / \ \ 4 5 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL / \ 2 -> 3 -> NULL / \ \ 4-> 5 -> 7 -> NULL
/**
* Definition for binary tree with next pointer.
* public class TreeLinkNode {
* int val;
* TreeLinkNode left, right, next;
* TreeLinkNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
public void connect(TreeLinkNode root) {
if (root == null) {
return;
}
TreeLinkNode p = root.next;
while (p != null) {
if (p.left != null) {
p = p.left;
break;
}
if (p.right != null) {
p = p.right;
break;
}
p = p.next;
}
if (root.right != null) {
root.right.next = p;
}
if (root.left != null) {
if (root.right != null) {
root.left.next = root.right;
} else {
root.left.next = p;
}
}
connect(root.right);
connect(root.left);
}
}
