LeetCode: Count Complete Tree Nodes Posted on January 10, 2018July 26, 2020 by braindenny Count Complete Tree Nodes Similar Problems: CheatSheet: Leetcode For Code Interview CheatSheet: Common Code Problems & Follow-ups Tag: #recursive Given a complete binary tree, count the number of nodes. Definition of a complete binary tree from Wikipedia: In a complete binary tree every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, and all nodes in the last level are as far left as possible. It can have between 1 and 2h nodes inclusive at the last level h.

Space O(1). If include system stack, Space O(log(n)) # Definition for a binary tree node. # class TreeNode(object): # def __init__(self, x): # self.val = x # self.left = None # self.right = None class Solution(object): def countNodes(self, root): """ :type root: TreeNode :rtype: int """ if root is None: return 0 # root node is with height 0 lh, rh = 0, 0 lnode, rnode = root, root while lnode: lnode = lnode.left lh += 1 while rnode: rnode = rnode.right rh += 1 if lh == rh: return pow(2, lh) - 1 else: return self.countNodes(root.left) + self.countNodes(root.right) + 1 Post Views: 9
