Binary Tree Level Order Traversal


Given a binary tree, return the level order traversal of its nodes' values. (ie, from left to right, level by level).
For example:
Given binary tree {3,9,20,#,#,15,7},
    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7
return its level order traversal as:
[
  [3],
  [9,20],
  [15,7]
]
Solution: BFS. The following code passes LeetCode Large OJ.

For Binary Tree Level Order Traversal II, either reverse, or insert in the beginning.

Maximum Gap

Given an unsorted array, find the maximum difference between the successive elements in its sorted form.  Try to solve it in linear time/space.  Return 0 if the array contains less than 2 elements. You may assume all elements in the array are non-negative integers and fit in the 32-bit signed integer range. In order to solve this in linear time, we cannot use general sorting algorithm. Here we use bucket sort. First, we scan the array to find the min and the max values.   We can then create n - 1 buckets with equal size. Suppose we have n elements in total, then we have n - 2 elements except the min and the max. Scan the array again to put the n - 2 elements into these buckets. We should have at least one empty bucket. For each bucket, we record the min and the max for all the elements within that bucket.  Finally, we scan all the buckets, and maintain the maximum gap. Note that the maximum gap between the successive elements in the sorted...

Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum

Given a binary tree, find the maximum path sum.   The path may start and end at any node in the tree. Solution: For root node, first check two subtrees and figure out the path with maximum sum in each subtree (and the path must contains the root node). More precisely, we can compare root->val, root->val + leftsubtree, root->val + rightsubtree. But this is not enough since the maximum path might contains two subtrees. We have to compute the value of root->val + leftsubtree + rightsubtree as well. The problem is, we cannot directly return this value since this path cannot go to upper nodes anymore. So we also use another global variable to store the maximum sum in each recursion, and update this variable once we find any path with larger sum. The following code passes the LeetCode Online Large Judge. Thanks for the useful comments.

[ITint5] Maximum Subarray for a Circular Array

http://www.itint5.com/oj/#8 Classic DP problem, which has also appeared in Leetcode as Maximum subarray . The only difference is, in this problem, empty subarray (where sum is 0) is allowed. So instead of return ret, we could simply return max(0, ret). http://www.itint5.com/oj/#9 Calculate the maximum subarray for a circular array. For example, [1, 3, -2, 6, -1], we should return 9 since 6 + (-1) + 1 + 3 = 9. The following solution might not be optimized. Suppose that the maximum subarray is from A[i] to A[j]. The idea is, consider the following different scenarios: i <= j: it is the same as classic problem. i > j: the sum is A[i : end] + A[start : j]. So we can use two additional arrays: left[j] = maximum subarray, starts from A[start] and ends no later than A[j] right[i] = maximum subarray, starts no earlier than A[i] and ends at A[end] The following code passes the online judge. However, we need O(4n) in time and O(2n) in space. Not sure how to improve this. ...
