666 Path Sum IV

1. Question

If the depth of a tree is smaller than5, then this tree can be represented by a list of three-digits integers.

For each integer in this list:

  1. The hundreds digit represents the depth

    Dof this node,1 <= D <= 4.

  2. The tens digit represents the positionPof this node in the level it belongs to,1 <= P <= 8

    . The position is the same as that in a full binary tree.

  3. The units digit represents the valueVof this node,0 <= V <= 9.

Given a list ofascendingthree-digits integers representing a binary with the depth smaller than 5. You need to return the sum of all paths from the root towards the leaves.

Example 1:

Input:
 [113, 215, 221]

Output:
 12

Explanation:

The tree that the list represents is:
    3
   / \
  5   1

The path sum is (3 + 5) + (3 + 1) = 12.

Example 2:

2. Implementation

思路:这题给一个数组,数组的每个数是都是三位数,百位数代表在树的第几层,中位数代表数在该层的位置(从1开始算), 而个位数则代表该节点在树里的值。

(1) 题目提到,位置的信息是和full binary tree一样的,这意味着,给定一个node的位置,我们知道它的left children在下一层的位置是node的position * 2 -1(position是从1开始), right children的position则是node的position * 2。

(2)有了以上这些信息后,我们就可以利用一个map, 以数组每个数的前面两位作为key, 最后一位作为value, 放在map里,利用Path Sum同样的思路从根节点(数组第一个数)递归地找出path sum

3. Time & Space Complexity

时间空间复杂度都是O(n)
