501 Find Mode in Binary Search Tree

Given a binary search tree (BST) with duplicates, find all the[mode(s)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(statistics))(the most frequently occurred element) in the given BST.

Assume a BST is defined as follows:

  • The left subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys less than or equal to the node's key.

  • The right subtree of a node contains only nodes with keys greater than or equal to the node's key.

  • Both the left and right subtrees must also be binary search trees.

For example: Given BST[1,null,2,2],

   1
    \
     2
    /
   2

return[2].

Note:If a tree has more than one mode, you can return them in any order.

Follow up:Could you do that without using any extra space? (Assume that the implicit stack space incurred due to recursion does not count).

这里我自己只想到用hashmap来数数目,然后返回这种方法。看了一下discuss里的O(1)感觉太复杂...所以不写了。

public int[] findMode(TreeNode root) {
    if (root == null) {
        return new int[0];
    }

    HashMap<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
    helper(root, map);

    int max = 0;
    for (Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry : map.entrySet()) {
        max = Math.max(entry.getValue(), max);
    }

    ArrayList<Integer> tmp = new ArrayList<>();
    for (Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> entry : map.entrySet()) {
        if (entry.getValue() == max) {
            tmp.add(entry.getKey());
        }
    }

    int i = 0;
    int[] res = new int[tmp.size()];
    for (Integer in : tmp) {
        res[i++] = in;
    }

    return res;
}

private void helper(TreeNode root, HashMap<Integer, Integer> map) {
    if (root == null) {
        return;
    }

    if (map.containsKey(root.val)) {
        map.put(root.val, map.get(root.val) + 1);
    } else {
        map.put(root.val, 1);
    }

    helper(root.left, map);
    helper(root.right, map);
}
