LeetCode - Print Binary Tree

Question Definition

Print a binary tree in an m*n 2D string array following these rules:

  1. The row number m should be equal to the height of the given binary tree.
  2. The column number n should always be an odd number.
  3. The root node’s value (in string format) should be put in the exactly middle of the first row it can be put. The column and the row where the root node belongs will separate the rest space into two parts (left-bottom part and right-bottom part). You should print the left subtree in the left-bottom part and print the right subtree in the right-bottom part. The left-bottom part and the right-bottom part should have the same size. Even if one subtree is none while the other is not, you don’t need to print anything for the none subtree but still need to leave the space as large as that for the other subtree. However, if two subtrees are none, then you don’t need to leave space for both of them.
  4. Each unused space should contain an empty string “”.
  5. Print the subtrees following the same rules.

LeetCode - Maximum Binary Tree

Question Definition

Given an integer array with no duplicates. A maximum tree building on this array is defined as follow:

The root is the maximum number in the array. The left subtree is the maximum tree constructed from left part subarray divided by the maximum number. The right subtree is the maximum tree constructed from right part subarray divided by the maximum number. Construct the maximum tree by the given array and output the root node of this tree.

LeetCode - House Robber III

Question Definition

The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one entrance to this area, called the “root.” Besides the root, each house has one and only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that “all houses in this place forms a binary tree”. It will automatically contact the police if two directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night.

Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without alerting the police.
