Given a binary tree, find the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of two given nodes in the tree.
According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: “The lowest common ancestor is defined between two nodes v and w as the lowest node in T that has both v and w as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself).”
For example, the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of nodes
思路:如果left为空,则结果是right。若left为非空,而right为空,则结果在left。最后若两者皆不为空,则必定是p和q分别在两个子树里,不然不可能都返回了非NULL,此时直接返回root。

5, since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.

class Solution { public: TreeNode* lowestCommonAncestor(TreeNode* root, TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) { if (!root || root == p || root == q) return root; TreeNode *left = lowestCommonAncestor(root->left, p, q); if (left && left != p && left != q) return left;//answer in left TreeNode *right = lowestCommonAncestor(root->right, p, q); if (!left) return right;//left is null, so answer depends on right else if (!right) return left;//right is null, so answer in left else return root;//both are not null, so root is the answer } };
