LeetCode OJ 337. House Robber III

标签：

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.

Example 1:

     3
    /    2   3
    \   \ 
     3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 3 + 3 + 1 = 7.

Example 2:

     3
    /    4   5
  / \   \ 
 1   3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob = 4 + 5 = 9.

对于这个题目我们有什么思路呢？我们从根节点开始有两种选择，要么偷取根节点的值，要么不偷取根节点。偷取根节点的话，我们接下来只能偷取根节点孩子节点的孩子节点。如果不偷取根节点的话，我们可以直接偷取根节点的孩子节点。然后我们把这两种方式得到的值进行比较，取较大的那个。因此这是一个递归的过程：

rob(root) = max{rob(root.left) + rob(root.rght), root.val + rob(root.left.left) + rob(root.left.right) + rob(root.right.left) + rob(root.right.right)}

if(root == null) rob(root) = 0;

if(root.left == null && root.right == null) rob(root) = root.val

有了上面的递归表达式，我们就很容易进行编程啦！代码如下：

 1 /**
 2  * Definition for a binary tree node.
 3  * public class TreeNode {
 4  *     int val;
 5  *     TreeNode left;
 6  *     TreeNode right;
 7  *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 8  * }
 9  */
10 public class Solution {
11     public int rob(TreeNode root) {
12         if(root == null) return 0;
13         if(root.left == null && root.right == null) return root.val;
14         int maxnum1 = 0;
15         int maxnum2 = 0;
16         maxnum1 = rob(root.left) + rob(root.right);
17         if(root.left != null || root.right != null){
18             int num1 = root.left!=null?rob(root.left.left) + rob(root.left.right):0;
19             int num2 = root.right!=null?rob(root.right.left) + rob(root.right.right):0;
20             maxnum2 = num1 + num2 + root.val;
21         }
22         return maxnum1>maxnum2?maxnum1:maxnum2;
23     }
24 }
