1382. Balance a Binary Search Tree

Description

Given the root of a binary search tree, return a balanced binary search tree with the same node values. If there is more than one answer, return any of them.

A binary search tree is balanced if the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differs by more than 1.

 

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,null,2,null,3,null,4,null,null]
Output: [2,1,3,null,null,null,4]
Explanation: This is not the only correct answer, [3,1,4,null,2] is also correct.

Example 2:

Input: root = [2,1,3]
Output: [2,1,3]

 

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 104].
• 1 <= Node.val <= 105

Solutions

Solution 1: In-order Traversal + Construct Balanced Binary Search Tree

Since the original tree is a binary search tree, we can save the result of the in-order traversal in an array $nums$. Then we design a function $build(i, j)$, which is used to construct a balanced binary search tree within the index range $[i, j]$ in $nums$. The answer is $build(0, |nums| - 1)$.

The execution logic of the function $build(i, j)$ is as follows:

• If $i > j$, then the balanced binary search tree is empty, return an empty node;
• Otherwise, we take $mid = (i + j) / 2$ as the root node, then recursively build the left and right subtrees, and return the root node.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$. Where $n$ is the number of nodes in the binary search tree.
