Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the tree.

According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes p and q as the lowest node in T that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”

Given the following binary tree:  root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4]

        _______3______
       /              \
    ___5__          ___1__
   /      \        /      \
   6      _2       0       8
         /  \
         7   4
Example 1:

Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 1
Output: 3
Explanation: The LCA of of nodes 5 and 1 is 3.
Example 2:

Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 4
Output: 5
Explanation: The LCA of nodes 5 and 4 is 5, since a node can be a descendant of itself
             according to the LCA definition.

对于p,q两个元素,如果是最小公共祖先,有两种情况:1. 当前节点是p或者q, 2. 一个节点在当前节点的左边,一个节点在当前节点的右边。满足这两个条件就可以了之一,这个节点就是最小公共祖先了。

/**
 * 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:
    TreeNode* lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) {
        bool findp=false, findq=false;

        while(findp == findq)
        {
            if(root == p || root == q)return root;
            findp = findq = false;
            findEle(root->left, p, findp);
            findEle(root->left, q, findq);

            if(findp == findq && findp == true)
            {
                root= root->left;
            }
            if(findp == findq && findp == false)
            {

                root = root->right;

            }
        }
        return root;

    }

    void findEle(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, bool& isfind)
    {
        if(root == NULL)return;
        if(root == p)
        {
            isfind = true;
            return;
        }
        findEle(root->left, p, isfind);
        findEle(root->right, p, isfind);
    }
};
以下是C#中二叉树的lowest common ancestor的源代码: ```csharp using System; public class Node { public int value; public Node left; public Node right; public Node(int value) { this.value = value; this.left = null; this.right = null; } } public class BinaryTree { public Node root; public BinaryTree() { this.root = null; } public Node LowestCommonAncestor(Node node, int value1, int value2) { if (node == null) { return null; } if (node.value == value1 || node.value == value2) { return node; } Node left = LowestCommonAncestor(node.left, value1, value2); Node right = LowestCommonAncestor(node.right, value1, value2); if (left != null && right != null) { return node; } return (left != null) ? left : right; } } public class Program { public static void Main() { BinaryTree tree = new BinaryTree(); tree.root = new Node(1); tree.root.left = new Node(2); tree.root.right = new Node(3); tree.root.left.left = new Node(4); tree.root.left.right = new Node(5); tree.root.right.left = new Node(6); tree.root.right.right = new Node(7); Node lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 4, 5); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 4 and 5: " + lca.value); lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 4, 6); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 4 and 6: " + lca.value); lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 3, 4); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 3 and 4: " + lca.value); lca = tree.LowestCommonAncestor(tree.root, 2, 4); Console.WriteLine("Lowest Common Ancestor of 2 and 4: " + lca.value); } } ``` 在上面的代码中,我们定义了一个Node类和一个BinaryTree类。我们使用BinaryTree类来创建二叉树,并实现了一个LowestCommonAncestor方法来计算二叉树中给定两个节点的最近公共祖先。 在LowestCommonAncestor方法中,我们首先检查给定节点是否为null或与给定值之一匹配。如果是,则返回该节点。否则,我们递归地在左子树和右子树上调用LowestCommonAncestor方法,并检查它们的返回值。如果左子树和右子树的返回值都不为null,则当前节点是它们的最近公共祖先。否则,我们返回非null的那个子树的返回值。 在Main方法中,我们创建了一个二叉树,并测试了LowestCommonAncestor方法的几个不同输入。
