1038. Binary Search Tree to Greater Sum Tree

1038. Binary Search Tree to Greater Sum Tree

Medium

Given the root of a Binary Search Tree (BST), convert it to a Greater Tree such that every key of the original BST is changed to the original key plus the sum of all keys greater than the original key in BST.

As a reminder, a binary search tree is a tree that satisfies these constraints:

• 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 the node's key.
• Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

Example 1:

• Input: root = [4,1,6,0,2,5,7,null,null,null,3,null,null,null,8]
• Output: [30,36,21,36,35,26,15,null,null,null,33,null,null,null,8]

Example 2:

• Input: root = [0,null,1]
• Output: [1,null,1]

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 100].
• 0 <= Node.val <= 100
• All the values in the tree are unique.

Note: This question is the same as 538: https://leetcode.com/problems/convert-bst-to-greater-tree/

Solution:

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * class TreeNode {
 *     public $val = null;
 *     public $left = null;
 *     public $right = null;
 *     function __construct($val = 0, $left = null, $right = null) {
 *         $this->val = $val;
 *         $this->left = $left;
 *         $this->right = $right;
 *     }
 * }
 */
class Solution {

    /**
     * @param TreeNode $root
     * @return TreeNode
     */
    function bstToGst($root) {
        $prefix = 0;

        $reversedInorder = function ($root) use (&$reversedInorder, &$prefix) {
            if ($root == null)
                return;

            $reversedInorder($root->right);

            $root->val += $prefix;
            $prefix = $root->val;

            $reversedInorder($root->left);
        };

        $reversedInorder($root);
        return $root;
    }
}
