1261. Find Elements in a Contaminated Binary Tree

Difficulty Topics

Description

Given a binary tree with the following rules:

  1. root.val == 0
  2. If treeNode.val == x and treeNode.left != null, then treeNode.left.val == 2 * x + 1
  3. If treeNode.val == x and treeNode.right != null, then treeNode.right.val == 2 * x + 2

Now the binary tree is contaminated, which means all treeNode.val have been changed to -1.

Implement the FindElements class:

  • FindElements(TreeNode* root) Initializes the object with a contaminated binary tree and recovers it.
  • bool find(int target) Returns true if the target value exists in the recovered binary tree.

 

Example 1:

Input
["FindElements","find","find"]
[[[-1,null,-1]],[1],[2]]
Output
[null,false,true]
Explanation
FindElements findElements = new FindElements([-1,null,-1]); 
findElements.find(1); // return False 
findElements.find(2); // return True

Example 2:

Input
["FindElements","find","find","find"]
[[[-1,-1,-1,-1,-1]],[1],[3],[5]]
Output
[null,true,true,false]
Explanation
FindElements findElements = new FindElements([-1,-1,-1,-1,-1]);
findElements.find(1); // return True
findElements.find(3); // return True
findElements.find(5); // return False

Example 3:

Input
["FindElements","find","find","find","find"]
[[[-1,null,-1,-1,null,-1]],[2],[3],[4],[5]]
Output
[null,true,false,false,true]
Explanation
FindElements findElements = new FindElements([-1,null,-1,-1,null,-1]);
findElements.find(2); // return True
findElements.find(3); // return False
findElements.find(4); // return False
findElements.find(5); // return True

 

Constraints:

  • TreeNode.val == -1
  • The height of the binary tree is less than or equal to 20
  • The total number of nodes is between [1, 104]
  • Total calls of find() is between [1, 104]
  • 0 <= target <= 106

Solution

find-elements-in-a-contaminated-binary-tree.py
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
#     def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
#         self.val = val
#         self.left = left
#         self.right = right
class FindElements:

    def __init__(self, root: TreeNode):
        root.val = 0
        self.s = set()
        self.build(root)

    def find(self, target: int) -> bool:
        return target in self.s

    def build(self, root):
        if not root: return

        if root.left:
            root.left.val = root.val*2 + 1
            self.s.add(root.left.val)
            self.build(root.left)

        if root.right:
            root.right.val = root.val*2 + 2
            self.s.add(root.right.val)
            self.build(root.right)



# Your FindElements object will be instantiated and called as such:
# obj = FindElements(root)
# param_1 = obj.find(target)
