原题地址:http://oj.leetcode.com/problems/minimum-depth-of-binary-tree/
题意:
Given a binary tree, find its minimum depth.
The minimum depth is the number of nodes along the shortest path from the root node down to the nearest leaf node.
解题思路:分几种情况考虑:1,树为空,则为0。 2,根节点如果只存在左子树或者只存在右子树,则返回值应为左子树或者右子树的(最小深度+1)。 3,如果根节点的左子树和右子树都存在,则返回值为(左右子树的最小深度的较小值+1)。
代码:
# Definition for a binary tree node# class TreeNode:# def __init__(self, x):# self.val = x# self.left = None# self.right = Noneclass Solution: # @param root, a tree node # @return an integer def minDepth(self, root): if root == None: return 0 if root.left == None and root.right != None: return self.minDepth( root.right ) + 1 if root.left != None and root.right == None: return self.minDepth( root.left ) + 1 return min( self.minDepth( root.left ), self.minDepth( root.right ) ) + 1
