Python里面有内置(Built-in)的平方根函数:sqrt(),可以方便计算正数的平方根.那么,如果要自己定义一个sqrt函数,该怎么解决呢? 解决思路:  1. 大于等于1的正数n的方根,范围肯定在0~n之间:小于1的正数n的方根,范围肯定在0~1之间  2. 用二分法(Bisection method, Binary search)从中间开始找n的方根.  3. 对于大于等于1的正数n,先假设n/2是n的方根,如果n/2的平方大于n,那么说明n的方根在0~n/2之间:如果n/2的平方小

既上篇关于二叉搜索树的文章后,这篇文章介绍一种针对二叉树的新的中序遍历方式,它的特点是不需要递归或者使用栈,而是纯粹使用循环的方式,完成中序遍历. 线索二叉树介绍 首先我们引入“线索二叉树”的概念: "A binary tree is threaded by making all right child pointers that would normally be null point to the inorder successor of the node, and all left chi

二叉树(Binary Tree)是最简单的树形数据结构,然而却十分精妙.其衍生出各种算法,以致于占据了数据结构的半壁江山.STL中大名顶顶的关联容器--集合(set).映射(map)便是使用二叉树实现.由于篇幅有限,此处仅作一般介绍(如果想要完全了解二叉树以及其衍生出的各种算法,恐怕要写8~10篇). 1)二叉树(Binary Tree) 顾名思义,就是一个节点分出两个节点,称其为左右子节点:每个子节点又可以分出两个子节点,这样递归分叉,其形状很像一颗倒着的树.二叉树限制了每个节点最多有两个子节

Sept. 22, 2015 学一道算法题, 经常回顾一下. 第二次重温, 决定增加一些图片, 帮助自己记忆. 在网上找他人的资料, 不如自己动手. 把从底向上树的算法搞通俗一些. 先做一个例子: 9/22/2015 Go over one example to build some muscle memory about this bottom up, O(1) solution to find the root node in subtree function. Sorted List: 1

Given a non-empty binary search tree and a target value, find k values in the BST that are closest to the target. Note: Given target value is a floating point. You may assume k is always valid, that is: k ≤ total nodes. You are guaranteed to have onl

Given a non-empty binary search tree and a target value, find the value in the BST that is closest to the target. Note: Given target value is a floating point. You are guaranteed to have only one unique value in the BST that is closest to the target.

Given an array of numbers, verify whether it is the correct preorder traversal sequence of a binary search tree. You may assume each number in the sequence is unique. Follow up: Could you do it using only constant space complexity? 这道题让给了我们一个一维数组,让我们

Given a binary search tree (BST), find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the BST. According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has

Implement an iterator over a binary search tree (BST). Your iterator will be initialized with the root node of a BST. Calling next() will return the next smallest number in the BST. Note: next() and hasNext() should run in average O(1) time and uses

Given a singly linked list where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST. 这道题是要求把有序链表转为二叉搜索树,和之前那道Convert Sorted Array to Binary Search Tree 将有序数组转为二叉搜索树思路完全一样,只不过是操作的数据类型有所差别,一个是数组,一个是链表.数组方便就方便在可以通过index直接访问任意一个元

Given an array where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST. 这道题是要将有序数组转为二叉搜索树,所谓二叉搜索树,是一种始终满足左<根<右的特性,如果将二叉搜索树按中序遍历的话,得到的就是一个有序数组了.那么反过来,我们可以得知,根节点应该是有序数组的中间点,从中间点分开为左右两个有序数组,在分别找出其中间点作为原中间点的左右两个子节点,这不就是是二分查找法的核

Given a binary tree, determine if it is a valid binary search tree (BST). Assume a BST is defined as follows: The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key. The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys

Given n, how many structurally unique BST's (binary search trees) that store values 1...n? For example,Given n = 3, there are a total of 5 unique BST's. 1 3 3 2 1 \ / / / \ \ 3 2 1 1 3 2 / / \ \ 2 1 2 3 这道题实际上是Catalan Number卡塔兰数的一个例子,如果对卡塔兰数不熟悉的童鞋可能真
