LeetCode – Refresh – Convert Sorted Array to Binary Search Tree

It is kind of binary search. Since this is a sorted array, we can treat it as inorder traversal. And we can define the root node for the Tree.

So find the middle element as the root, then keep doing recursion.

 3  * struct TreeNode {
 4  *     int val;
 5  *     TreeNode *left;
 6  *     TreeNode *right;
 7  *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 8  * };

13         if (start > end) return NULL;
14         int mid = (start + end)/2;
15         TreeNode *root = new TreeNode(num[mid]);
16         root->left = getTree(num, start, mid-1);
17         root->right = getTree(num, mid+1, end);
18         return root;
19     }
20     TreeNode *sortedArrayToBST(vector<int> &num) {
21         return getTree(num, 0, num.size()-1);
22     }
