Given a binary tree, return the bottom-up level order traversal of its nodes’ values. (ie, from left to right, level by level from leaf to root).
For example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7], 3 / \ 9 20 / \ 15 7
return its bottom-up level order traversal as:
[ [15,7], [9,20], [3] ]
The trick in this problem is to use Collection.reverse(<List>)
to reverse the result, and List.get(index)
to get the list of the same level.
It is important to record the level of nodes in the helper function.
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
class Solution {
public List<List<Integer>> levelOrderBottom(TreeNode root) {
List<List<Integer>> res = new ArrayList<>();
helper(root, 0, res);
Collections.reverse(res);
return res;
}
// record the level of this node
public void helper(TreeNode root, int level, List<List<Integer>> list){
if(root!=null){
if(list.size()>level){
// use get(index) to retrieve the list of this level
list.get(level).add(root.val);
}else{
List<Integer> newList = new ArrayList<>();
newList.add(root.val);
list.add(newList);
}
helper(root.left, level+1, list);
helper(root.right, level+1, list);
}
}
}
