LeetCode Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node 2
本文最后更新于 2026年7月17日 下午
Description
Follow up for problem “Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node”.
What if the given tree could be any binary tree? Would your previous solution still work?
Note:
You may only use constant extra space.
For example,
Given the following binary tree,
1
/ \
2 3
/ \ \
4 5 7
After calling your function, the tree should look like:
1 -> NULL
/ \
2 -> 3 -> NULL
/ \ \
4-> 5 -> 7 -> NULL
The original problem is here.
The original code is here.
My Solution
I solve this problem in C++, as below:
/*
*Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node
*Author: shuaijiang
*Email: zhaoshuaijiang8@gmail.com
*/
#include<iostream>
#include<vector>
#include<stdlib.h>
using namespace std;
/**
* Definition for binary tree with next pointer.
* struct TreeLinkNode {
* int val;
* TreeLinkNode *left, *right, *next;
* TreeLinkNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL), next(NULL) {}
* };
*/
class Solution {
public:
void connect(TreeLinkNode *root) {
if(root == NULL)
return;
vector<TreeLinkNode*> currLevel;
vector<TreeLinkNode*> nextLevel;
currLevel.push_back(root);
while(currLevel.size()>0){
for(int i=0;i<currLevel.size();i++){
TreeLinkNode * node = currLevel[i];
if(i+1<currLevel.size())
node->next = currLevel[i+1];
if(node->left != NULL)
nextLevel.push_back(node->left);
if(node->right != NULL)
nextLevel.push_back(node->right);
}
currLevel = nextLevel;
nextLevel.clear();
}
}
};
Note
To solve the problem, I use a vector to save the nodes of each level, and Populat next pointer of each node to point to its next right node.
