PAT甲级1143 Lowest Common Ancestor (30 分)

本文探讨了在二叉搜索树(BST)中查找两个节点的最低公共祖先(LCA)的算法。通过分析BST特性及前序遍历序列,提出了一种高效查找LCA的方法,并提供了实现代码。

1143 Lowest Common Ancestor (30 )

The lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two nodes U and V in a tree is the deepest node that has both U and V as descendants.

A binary search tree (BST) is recursively defined as a binary tree which has the following properties:

  • The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than the node's key.
  • The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than or equal to the node's key.
  • Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

Given any two nodes in a BST, you are supposed to find their LCA.

Input Specification:

Each input file contains one test case. For each case, the first line gives two positive integers: M ( 1,000), the number of pairs of nodes to be tested; and N ( 10,000), the number of keys in the BST, respectively. In the second line, N distinct integers are given as the preorder traversal sequence of the BST. Then M lines follow, each contains a pair of integer keys U and V. All the keys are in the range of int.

Output Specification:

For each given pair of U and V, print in a line LCA of U and V is A. if the LCA is found and A is the key. But if A is one of U and V, print X is an ancestor of Y. where X is A and Y is the other node. If U or V is not found in the BST, print in a line ERROR: U is not found. or ERROR: V is not found. or ERROR: U and V are not found..

Sample Input:

6 8

6 3 1 2 5 4 8 7

2 5

8 7

1 9

12 -3

0 8

99 99

Sample Output:

LCA of 2 and 5 is 3.

8 is an ancestor of 7.

ERROR: 9 is not found.

ERROR: 12 and -3 are not found.

ERROR: 0 is not found.

ERROR: 99 and 99 are not found

   题目大意:

        给出m次查询与长度为n的前序序列。找到最近的公共祖先。

 

思路:

  1. 利用BST的特点以及给出的是前序,读到的点a 与b 他们的祖先一定是介于两者之间的,或者是a或b。遍历前序找到复合的值即可。
  2. 利用map来记录是否出现在BST中,根据读到的mp[a],mp[b]做出相应的。。

参考代码:

 

 

 

#include<vector>
#include<cstdio>
#include<map>
using namespace std;
vector<int> pre;
map<int, bool> mp;
int m, n;
int main(){
	scanf("%d%d", &m, &n);
	pre.resize(n);
	for(int i = 0; i < n; ++i)	scanf("%d", &pre[i]), mp[pre[i]] = true;
	for(int i = 0; i < m; ++i){
		int a, b, an;
		scanf("%d%d", &a, &b);
		for(int j = 0; j < n; ++j){
			an = pre[j];
			if((an > a && an <= b) || (an <= a && an > b) || an == a || an == b) break;
		}
		if(!mp[a] && !mp[b])	printf("ERROR: %d and %d are not found.\n", a, b);
		else if(!mp[a] || !mp[b])	printf("ERROR: %d is not found.\n", !mp[a]? a : b);
		else if(an == a || an == b)	printf("%d is an ancestor of %d.\n", an, an == a? b : a);
		else printf("LCA of %d and %d is %d.\n", a, b, an);
	}
	return 0;
}
