Kth Smallest Element in a BST

Given a binary search tree, write a function kthSmallest to find the kth smallest element in it.

Note: 
You may assume k is always valid, 1 ≤ k ≤ BST‘s total elements.

Follow up:
What if the BST is modified (insert/delete operations) often and you need to find the kth smallest frequently? How would you optimize the kthSmallest routine?

Hint:

  1. Try to utilize the property of a BST.
  2. What if you could modify the BST node‘s structure?
  3. The optimal runtime complexity is O(height of BST).

利用BST的性质,中序遍历得到的就是从小到大的排列,返回第k-1个数字。

 2  * Definition for a binary tree node.

 4  *     int val;
 5  *     TreeNode *left;
 6  *     TreeNode *right;
 7  *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {}
 8  * };

11 public:
12     void traversal(TreeNode* root,vector<int>& result)
13     {
14         if(root)
15         {
16             traversal(root->left,result);
17             result.push_back(root->val);
18             traversal(root->right,result);
19         }
20     }
21     int kthSmallest(TreeNode* root, int k) {
22         vector<int> result;
23         traversal(root,result);
24         return result[k-1];
25     }
26 };
