Trim a binary search tree
Given the root of a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as low and high, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [low, high]. Trimming the tree should not change the relative structure of the elements that will remain in the tree (i.e., any node's descendant should remain a descendant). It can be proven that there is a unique answer.
Return the root of the trimmed binary search tree. Note that the root may change depending on the given bounds.
class Solution:
def trimBST(self, root, low, high):
def dfs(node):
if not node: return node
if node.val > high:
return dfs(node.left)
elif node.val < low:
return dfs(node.right)
else:
node.left = dfs(node.left)
node.right = dfs(node.right)
return node
return dfs(root)Related Problems
You are given the heads of two sorted linked lists list1 and list2.
Merge the two lists into one sorted list. The list should be made by splicing together the nodes of the first two lists.
Return the head of the merged linked list.
Given the root of a binary tree, flatten the tree into a "linked list":
The "linked list" should use the same TreeNode class where the right child pointer points to the next node in the list and the left child pointer is always null.
The "linked list" should be in the same order as a pre-order traversal of the binary tree.
Given the root of a binary tree, return the postorder traversal of its nodes' values.
Given the root of a binary tree, invert the tree, and return its root.
