Leetcode669-trimABinarySearchTree

Description

Given a binary search tree and the lowest and highest boundaries as L and R, trim the tree so that all its elements lies in [L, R] (R >= L). You might need to change the root of the tree, so the result should return the new root of the trimmed binary search tree.

Example

Example 1:
···
Input:
1
/ \
0 2

L = 1
R = 2

Output:
1
\
2
···
Example 2:

Input: 
    3
   / \
  0   4
   \
    2
   /
  1

  L = 1
  R = 3

Output: 
      3
     / 
   2

 1

Solution

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
    public TreeNode trimBST(TreeNode root, int L, int R) {
        if (root == null) return null;
        if (root.val < L) return trimBST(root.right, L, R);
        if (root.val > R) return trimBST(root.left, L, R);
        root.left = trimBST(root.left, L, R);
        root.right = trimBST(root.right, L, R);
        return root;
    }
}
