Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the BST.
According to the : “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”
_______6______ / \ ___2__ ___8__ / \ / \ 0 _4 7 9 / \ 3 5
For example, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of nodes 2
and 8
is 6
. Another example is LCA of nodes 2
and 4
is 2
, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.
/** * 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) { if (!root) return NULL; TreeNode* tmp = root; while (tmp) { if (tmp == p || tmp == q) {//假设相等。则返回该结点 if (tmp == p) return p; else return q; } else if ((p->val > tmp->val && q->val < tmp->val) || (p->val < tmp->val && q->val > tmp->val)) {//假设一个大于当前结点。一个小于当前结点。则返回当前结点 return tmp; } else if (p->val < tmp->val && q->val < tmp->val) {//假设同一时候小于当前结点,则两个结点都在左子树其中 tmp = tmp->left; } else if (p->val > tmp->val && q->val > tmp->val) {//假设同一时候大于当前结点,则两个结点都在右子树其中
tmp = tmp->right; } } return NULL; }};
