538. Convert BST to Greater Tree

Description

Given the root of a Binary Search Tree (BST), convert it to a Greater Tree such that every key of the original BST is changed to the original key plus the sum of all keys greater than the original key in BST.

As a reminder, a binary search tree is a tree that satisfies these constraints:

  • The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key.
  • The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than the node's key.
  • Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [4,1,6,0,2,5,7,null,null,null,3,null,null,null,8]
Output: [30,36,21,36,35,26,15,null,null,null,33,null,null,null,8]

Example 2:

Input: root = [0,null,1]
Output: [1,null,1]

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 104].
  • -104 <= Node.val <= 104
  • All the values in the tree are unique.
  • root is guaranteed to be a valid binary search tree.

 

Note: This question is the same as 1038: https://leetcode.com/problems/binary-search-tree-to-greater-sum-tree/

Solutions

Solution 1

Thinking

Each node should become the sum of all keys not smaller than itself. In a BST those keys are exactly the nodes already seen in reverse inorder.

Walk right-root-left, accumulate into \(s\), and write \(s\) back. The right subtree is processed first, so larger keys are already included. One traversal.

Solution 2

Thinking

Recursive reverse inorder uses an \(O(h)\) stack. Morris temporarily links a node's inorder predecessor (leftmost of the right subtree) to recover the parent without a stack.

Thread when going right, accumulate and write on the return visit, then unthread and go left. The order is still right-root-left, with constant extra space.
