222. Count Complete Tree Nodes

Medium

Given the root of a complete binary tree, return the number of the nodes in the tree.

According to Wikipedia, every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled in a complete binary tree, and all nodes in the last level are as far left as possible. It can have between 1 and 2h nodes inclusive at the last level h.

Design an algorithm that runs in less than O(n) time complexity.

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

Output: 6

Example 2:

Input: root = []

Output: 0

Example 3:

Input: root = [1]

Output: 1

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * type TreeNode struct {
 *     Val int
 *     Left *TreeNode
 *     Right *TreeNode
 * }
 */
func countNodes(root *TreeNode) int {
	if root == nil {
		return 0
	}
	leftHeight := leftHeight(root)
	rightHeight := rightHeight(root)
	// case 1: When Height(Left sub-tree) = Height(right sub-tree) 2^h - 1
	if leftHeight == rightHeight {
		return (1 << leftHeight) - 1
	} else {
		return 1 + countNodes(root.Left) + countNodes(root.Right)
	}
}

func leftHeight(root *TreeNode) int {
	if root == nil {
		return 0
	}
	return 1 + leftHeight(root.Left)
}

func rightHeight(root *TreeNode) int {
	if root == nil {
		return 0
	}
	return 1 + rightHeight(root.Right)
}
