Count Nodes in Complete Binary Tree - Google Top Interview Questions


Problem Statement :


Given a complete binary tree root, return the number of nodes in the tree.

This should be done in \mathcal{O}((\log n)^2)O((logn) 
2
 ).

Constraints

n ≤ 100,000 where n is the number of nodes in root


Example 1

Input



root = [1, [2, [4, null, null], [5, null, null]], [3, null, null]]

Output

5

Example 2

Input



root = [1, [2, [4, null, null], [5, null, null]], [3, [6, null, null], [7, null, null]]]

Output

7

                        Solution in C++ :

int solve(Tree* tree) {
    int right_h = 0, left_h = 0;
    auto* curr = tree;
    while (curr) right_h++, curr = curr->right;
    curr = tree;
    while (curr) left_h++, curr = curr->left;
    if (right_h ==
        left_h) {  // if left_height and right_height is same, then the tree has (2**h - 1) nodes
        return (1 << right_h) - 1;
    }
    // If not same, then again make a recursive call on the left and right subtree
    return solve(tree->left) + solve(tree->right) + 1;
}

Balanced Brackets

A bracket is considered to be any one of the following characters: (, ), {, }, [, or ]. Two brackets are considered to be a matched pair if the an opening bracket (i.e., (, [, or {) occurs to the left of a closing bracket (i.e., ), ], or }) of the exact same type. There are three types of matched pairs of brackets: [], {}, and (). A matching pair of brackets is not balanced if the set of bra

Equal Stacks

ou have three stacks of cylinders where each cylinder has the same diameter, but they may vary in height. You can change the height of a stack by removing and discarding its topmost cylinder any number of times. Find the maximum possible height of the stacks such that all of the stacks are exactly the same height. This means you must remove zero or more cylinders from the top of zero or more of
