leetcode331Verify Preorder Serialization of a Binary Tree
One way to serialize a binary tree is to use pre-order traversal. When we encounter a non-null node, we record the node's value. If it is a null node, we record using a sentinel value such as
#
.
_9_
/ \
3 2
/ \ / \
4 1 # 6
/ \ / \ / \
# # # # # #
For example, the above binary tree can be serialized to the string
"9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#"
, where
#
represents a null node.
Given a string of comma separated values, verify whether it is a correct preorder traversal serialization of a binary tree. Find an algorithm without reconstructing the tree.
Each comma separated value in the string must be either an integer or a character
'#'
representing
null
pointer.
You may assume that the input format is always valid, for example it could never contain two consecutive commas such as
"1,,3"
.
Example 1:
"9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#"
Return
true
Example 2:
"1,#"
Return
false
Example 3:
"9,#,#,1"
Return
false
这道题目也是自己没相处方法,去翻了别人的博客。二叉树的特性,就是每在一个空节点上插入1个叶节点的话,原先的空节点消失,新增2个空节点,所以二叉树的空节点最终比所有有值的节点多1,由这点入手。统计字符串序列中空节点和有值节点的个数,在不考虑最后一个节点的情况,空节点个数和有值节点个数应该相同,并且最后一个节点一定为#。除去只有一个节点并且该节点是#的情况,其他情况下,第一个节点必定不为#。
class Solution {
public:
bool isValidSerialization(string preorder) {

}
istringstream input(preorder);
vector<string> vs;
string temp;
int count = 0;
while (getline(input, temp, ','))
{
vs.push_back(temp);
}
for (int i = 0; i < vs.size() - 1; ++i)

if (vs[i] == "#")

if (count == 0)

return false;

if (count == 0 && vs.back() == "#")

return true;
