Problem Link: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/validate-binary-search-tree/ We inorder-traverse the tree, and for each node we check if current_node.val > prev_node.val. The code is as follows. # Definition for a binary tree node # class TreeNode: #…

Problem Link: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/recover-binary-search-tree/ We know that the inorder traversal of a binary search tree should be a sorted array. Therefore, we can compare each node with its previous node in the inorder to find the two…

Problem Link: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/same-tree/ The following recursive version is accepted but the iterative one is not accepted... # Definition for a binary tree node # class TreeNode: # def __init__(self, x): # self.val = x # self.left =…

Problem Link: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/symmetric-tree/ To solve the problem, we can traverse the tree level by level. For each level, we construct an array of values of the length 2^depth, and check if this array is symmetric. The tree is sym…

Problem Link: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/binary-tree-level-order-traversal/ Traverse the tree level by level using BFS method. # Definition for a binary tree node # class TreeNode: # def __init__(self, x): # self.val = x # self.left = None # se…

Problem Link: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/binary-tree-zigzag-level-order-traversal/ Just BFS from the root and for each level insert a list of values into the result. # Definition for a binary tree node # class TreeNode: # def __init__(self, x):…

Problem Link: https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/maximum-depth-of-binary-tree/ Simply BFS from root and count the number of levels. The code is as follows. # Definition for a binary tree node # class TreeNode: # def __init__(self, x): # self.val = x #…
