173. Binary Search Tree Iterator
Implement an iterator over a binary search tree (BST). Your iterator will be initialized with the root node of a BST.
Calling next()
will return the next smallest number in the BST.
Example:

BSTIterator iterator = new BSTIterator(root);
iterator.next(); // return 3
iterator.next(); // return 7
iterator.hasNext(); // return true
iterator.next(); // return 9
iterator.hasNext(); // return true
iterator.next(); // return 15
iterator.hasNext(); // return true
iterator.next(); // return 20
iterator.hasNext(); // return false
Note:
next()
andhasNext()
should run in average O(1) time and uses O(h) memory, where h is the height of the tree.You may assume that
next()
call will always be valid, that is, there will be at least a next smallest number in the BST whennext()
is called.
class BSTIterator {
public:
BSTIterator(TreeNode* root) {
if (root) {
TreeNode* cur = root;
find_left(cur);
}
}
/** @return the next smallest number */
int next() {
TreeNode* t = st.top(); st.pop();
int next_smallest = t->val;
find_left(t->right);
return next_smallest;
}
/** @return whether we have a next smallest number */
bool hasNext() {
return !st.empty();
}
void find_left(TreeNode* node) {
while (node) {
st.push(node);
node = node->left;
}
}
stack<TreeNode*> st;
};
