题目
给定一棵二叉树,找到两个节点的最近公共父节点(LCA)。
最近公共祖先是两个节点的公共的祖先节点且具有最大深度。
样例
对于下面这棵二叉树
4 / \3 7 / \ 5 6
LCA(3, 5) = 4
LCA(5, 6) = 7
LCA(6, 7) = 7
解题
不知道如何下手,,自顶向下的解法中有下面的说明:
初首先看看3和5,这两个节点分居根节点4的两侧,如果可以从子节点往父 节点递推,那么他们将在根节点4处第一次重合;再来看看5和6,这两个都在根节点4的右侧,沿着父节点往上递推,他们将在节点7处第一次重合;最 后来看看6和7,此时由于7是6的父节点,故7即为所求。从这三个基本例子我们可以总结出两种思路——自顶向下(从前往后递推)和自底向上(从后 往前递推)。顺着上述实例的分析,我们首先看看自底向上的思路,自底向上的实现用一句话来总结就是——如果遍历到的当前节点是 A/B 中的任意一个,那么我们就向父节点汇报此节点,否则递归到节点为空时返回空值。具体来说会有如下几种情况:1.当前节点不是两个节点中的任意一个,此时应判断左右子树的返回结果。 1.若左右子树均返回非空节点,那么当前节点一定是所求的根节点,将当前节点逐层向前汇报。// 两个节点分居树的两侧 2.若左右子树仅有一个子树返回非空节点,则将此非空节点向父节点汇报。// 节点仅存在于树的一侧 3.若左右子树均返回NULL, 则向父节点返回NULL. // 节点不在这棵树中2.当前节点即为两个节点中的一个,此时向父节点返回当前节点

这个给了dfs的解法,但是用java一直写不对,在 找到了根据DFS从根节点找到当前节点的路径,知道路径就很简单了,这里还是看程序吧
