LintCode 7. Binary Tree Serialization

Description

Design an algorithm and write code to serialize and deserialize a binary tree. Writing the tree to a file is called 'serialization' and reading back from the file to reconstruct the exact same binary tree is 'deserialization'.

Notice

There is no limit of how you deserialize or serialize a binary tree, LintCode will take your output of serialize as the input of deserialize, it won't check the result of serialize.

Example

An example of testdata: Binary tree {3,9,20,#,#,15,7}, denote the following structure:

  3
 / \
9  20
  /  \
 15   7

Our data serialization use bfs traversal. This is just for when you got wrong answer and want to debug the input.

You can use other method to do serializaiton and deserialization.

代码

/**
 * Definition of TreeNode:
 * class TreeNode {
 * public:
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode *left, *right;
 *     TreeNode(int val) {
 *         this->val = val;
 *         this->left = this->right = NULL;
 *     }
 * }
 */

public:
    /**
    * This method will be invoked first, you should design your own algorithm
    * to serialize a binary tree which denote by a root node to a string which
    * can be easily deserialized by your own "deserialize" method later.
    */
    string serialize(TreeNode * root) {
        // write your code here
        string res = "";
        if (root == NULL) return res;
        queue q;
        int notNullCount = 1;
        q.push(root);
        while (!q.empty() && notNullCount) {
            TreeNode *node = q.front();
            q.pop();
            if (node == NULL) {
                res += "#,";
