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

Tips:
recursion in from left to right, up to down.
Java Code:
/**
* 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) {
treeRecursion(root);
}
void listRecursion(TreeLinkNode root, TreeLinkNode[] lastNode){
if(null == root) {
return;
}
listRecursion(root.next, lastNode);
if(root.right != null){
root.right.next = lastNode[0];
lastNode[0] = root.right;
}
if(root.left != null){
root.left.next = lastNode[0];
lastNode[0] = root.left;
}
}
void treeRecursion(TreeLinkNode root){
if(null == root) {
return;
}
TreeLinkNode[] lastNode = {null};
listRecursion(root, lastNode);
treeRecursion(lastNode[0]);
}
}
