package tree; /** * Created by gouthamvidyapradhan on 01/05/2018. * Given a Binary Search Tree (BST) with root node root, and a target value V, split the tree into two subtrees * where one subtree has nodes that are all smaller or equal to the target value, while the other subtree has all * nodes that are greater than the target value. It's not necessarily the case that the tree contains a node with * value V. Additionally, most of the structure of the original tree should remain. Formally, for any child C with parent P in the original tree, if they are both in the same subtree after the split, then node C should still have the parent P. You should output the root TreeNode of both subtrees after splitting, in any order. Example 1: Input: root = [4,2,6,1,3,5,7], V = 2 Output: [[2,1],[4,3,6,null,null,5,7]] Explanation: Note that root, output[0], and output[1] are TreeNode objects, not arrays. The given tree [4,2,6,1,3,5,7] is represented by the following diagram: 4 / \ 2 6 / \ / \ 1 3 5 7 while the diagrams for the outputs are: 4 / \ 3 6 and 2 / \ / 5 7 1 Note: The size of the BST will not exceed 50. The BST is always valid and each node's value is different. Solution: O(N) if a current node is <= to key then the current node and its child nodes form the left sub-tree. Split the right node further recursively */ public class SplitBST { public static class TreeNode { int val; TreeNode left; TreeNode right; TreeNode(int x) { val = x; } } /** * Main method * @param args * @throws Exception */ public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{ TreeNode root = new TreeNode(4); root.left = new TreeNode(2); root.left.left = new TreeNode(1); root.left.right = new TreeNode(3); root.right = new TreeNode(6); root.right.left = new TreeNode(5); root.right.right = new TreeNode(7); root.right.right.right = new TreeNode(9); TreeNode[] result = new SplitBST().splitBST(root, 3); } public TreeNode[] splitBST(TreeNode root, int V) { if(root == null){ return new TreeNode[] {null, null}; } else{ TreeNode[] result = new TreeNode[2]; if(root.val <= V){ result[0] = root; TreeNode[] right = splitBST(root.right, V); root.right = right[0]; result[1] = right[1]; return result; } else{ TreeNode[] left = splitBST(root.left, V); root.left = left[1]; result[0] = left[0]; result[1] = root; return result; } } } }
