235. 二叉搜索树的最近公共祖先

English Version

题目描述

给定一个二叉搜索树, 找到该树中两个指定节点的最近公共祖先。

百度百科中最近公共祖先的定义为：“对于有根树 T 的两个结点 p、q，最近公共祖先表示为一个结点 x，满足 x 是 p、q 的祖先且 x 的深度尽可能大（一个节点也可以是它自己的祖先）。”

例如，给定如下二叉搜索树:  root = [6,2,8,0,4,7,9,null,null,3,5]

 

示例 1:

输入: root = [6,2,8,0,4,7,9,null,null,3,5], p = 2, q = 8
输出: 6 
解释: 节点 2 和节点 8 的最近公共祖先是 6。

示例 2:

输入: root = [6,2,8,0,4,7,9,null,null,3,5], p = 2, q = 4
输出: 2
解释: 节点 2 和节点 4 的最近公共祖先是 2, 因为根据定义最近公共祖先节点可以为节点本身。

 

说明:

• 所有节点的值都是唯一的。
• p、q 为不同节点且均存在于给定的二叉搜索树中。

解法

方法一：迭代或递归

从上到下搜索，找到第一个值位于 $[p.val, q.val]$ 之间的结点即可。

既可以用迭代实现，也可以用递归实现。

迭代的时间复杂度为 $O(n)$，空间复杂度为 $O(1)$。

递归的时间复杂度为 $O(n)$，空间复杂度为 $O(n)$。
