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.
Note: next()
and hasNext()
should run in average O(1) time and uses O(h) memory, where h is the height of the tree.

Special thanks to @ts for adding this problem and creating all test cases.
Approach #1: C++.
/** * Definition for binary tree * struct TreeNode { * int val; * TreeNode *left; * TreeNode *right; * TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {} * }; */ class BSTIterator { public: BSTIterator(TreeNode *root) { helper(root); } /** @return whether we have a next smallest number */ bool hasNext() { if (minNums.empty()) return false; else return true; } /** @return the next smallest number */ int next() { TreeNode* cur = minNums.top(); minNums.pop(); helper(cur->right); return cur->val; } private: stack<TreeNode*> minNums; void helper(TreeNode* root) { while (root != nullptr) { minNums.push(root); root = root->left; } } }; /** * Your BSTIterator will be called like this: * BSTIterator i = BSTIterator(root); * while (i.hasNext()) cout << i.next(); */
Approach #2: Java.
/** * Definition for binary tree * public class TreeNode { * int val; * TreeNode left; * TreeNode right; * TreeNode(int x) { val = x; } * } */ public class BSTIterator { public BSTIterator(TreeNode root) { helper(root); } /** @return whether we have a next smallest number */ public boolean hasNext() { if (stack.isEmpty()) return false; return true; } /** @return the next smallest number */ public int next() { TreeNode cur = stack.pop(); helper(cur.right); return cur.val; } private Stack<TreeNode> stack = new Stack<TreeNode>(); private void helper(TreeNode root) { while (root != null) { stack.push(root); root = root.left; } } } /** * Your BSTIterator will be called like this: * BSTIterator i = new BSTIterator(root); * while (i.hasNext()) v[f()] = i.next(); */
Approach #3: Python.
