Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node II 任意（非完美）二叉树添加next指针 @LeetCode

http://blog.csdn.net/fightforyourdream/article/details/14514165

在上题基础上扩展，此时数不是完美二叉树，而是任意二叉树

这道题有些tricky，有时间回头再研究一下

package Level4;

import Utility.TreeLinkNode;

/**
 * Populating Next Right Pointers in Each Node II 
 * 
 *  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

public class S117 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

	}

	public static void connect(TreeLinkNode root) {
		// 空节点就直接返回
		if (root == null){
			return;
		}
		
		// 找到与root同一行的next node
		TreeLinkNode rootNext = root.next;
		TreeLinkNode next = null;		// 下一个被连接的对象
		
		// rootNext如果是null说明已经处理完这一层的所有node
		// next不等于null说明找到了找到最左边的下一个被连接的对象
		while (rootNext != null && next == null)
		{
			if (rootNext.left != null){	// 优先找左边
				next = rootNext.left;
			} else{
				next = rootNext.right;
			}
			rootNext = rootNext.next;
		}
 
		if (root.left != null)
		{
			if (root.right != null){	//	内部相连
				root.left.next = root.right;
			}else{						// 跨树相连
				root.left.next = next;
			}
		}
		if (root.right != null){		// 跨树相连
			root.right.next = next;
		}
		
		connect(root.right);		// 要先让右边都先连起来
		connect(root.left);
    }
}

第二次做修改了一个地方的bug（在找rootnext时增加了break，及时退出），居然提交两次就通过了。

果然做LeetCode的真谛在于：遇到不懂 => 查答案 => 自己理解写出来或背下来 => 过一段时间后第二遍重做

比如这道题，我印象最深刻的是一定要先处理右子树再处理左子树，知道这点就足够写出来了。

关键就是找到next节点是在哪里，而这又要求找到rootnext节点在哪里。那个while循环就是破题的关键。

/**

 * public class TreeLinkNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeLinkNode left, right, next;
 *     TreeLinkNode(int x) { val = x; }

    public void connect(TreeLinkNode root) {

            return;
        }
        
        TreeLinkNode rootnext = root.next;
        TreeLinkNode next = null;
        while(rootnext != null){
            if(rootnext.left != null){
                next = rootnext.left;
                break;
            }else if(rootnext.right != null){
                next = rootnext.right;
                break;
            }else{

            }
        }
        
        if(root.right != null){
            root.right.next = next;
        }
        if(root.left != null){
            if(root.right != null){
                root.left.next = root.right;
            }else{
                root.left.next = next;
            }
        }
