Convert Sorted Array to Binary Search Tree
Given an array where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST.
For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1.
Example: Given the sorted array: [-10,-3,0,5,9],
One possible answer is: [0,-3,9,-10,null,5], which represents the following height balanced BST:
0
/ \
-3 9
/ /
-10 5
Solution: Using Binary Search
TreeNode* sortedArrayToBSTUtil(vector<int>& nums, int left, int right) {
if (left > right) return NULL;
int index = left + (right - left)/2;
TreeNode *head = new TreeNode(nums[index]);
head->left = sortedArrayToBSTUtil(nums, left, index-1);
head->right = sortedArrayToBSTUtil(nums, index+1, right);
return head;
}
TreeNode* sortedArrayToBST(vector<int>& nums) {
return sortedArrayToBSTUtil(nums, 0, nums.size()-1);
}
