0987. Vertical Order Traversal of a Binary Tree (M)

Vertical Order Traversal of a Binary Tree (M)

题目

Given a binary tree, return the vertical order traversal of its nodes values.

For each node at position (X, Y), its left and right children respectively will be at positions (X-1, Y-1) and (X+1, Y-1).

Running a vertical line from X = -infinity to X = +infinity, whenever the vertical line touches some nodes, we report the values of the nodes in order from top to bottom (decreasing Y coordinates).

If two nodes have the same position, then the value of the node that is reported first is the value that is smaller.

Return an list of non-empty reports in order of X coordinate. Every report will have a list of values of nodes.

Example 1:

Input: [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: [[9],[3,15],[20],[7]]
Explanation: 
Without loss of generality, we can assume the root node is at position (0, 0):
Then, the node with value 9 occurs at position (-1, -1);
The nodes with values 3 and 15 occur at positions (0, 0) and (0, -2);
The node with value 20 occurs at position (1, -1);
The node with value 7 occurs at position (2, -2).

Example 2:

Input: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]
Output: [[4],[2],[1,5,6],[3],[7]]
Explanation: 
The node with value 5 and the node with value 6 have the same position according to the given scheme.
However, in the report "[1,5,6]", the node value of 5 comes first since 5 is smaller than 6.

Note:

1. The tree will have between 1 and 1000 nodes.
2. Each node's value will be between 0 and 1000.

题意

定义二叉树中一个结点的横坐标为x，纵坐标为y，则其左子结点坐标为(x-1, y-1)，其右子结点坐标为(x+1, y-1)，求该二叉树的纵向遍历，类似于层序遍历，x相同的结点属于同一层，不同层按x升序排列，同一层结点按y降序排列。

思路

层序遍历所有结点，这样可以保证y值是递减的；结点的x轴信息可以用一个与层序遍历同步的队列来记录；最终结果可以用一个(x->List)的map保存。注意同一层x值相同的两个结点需要按照值大小排列，因此每一层可以再开一个map进行处理，再合并到结果map中。
