💬 ชาวเน็ตแห่แชร์: web//https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/find deepest node binary tree

Given a binary tree, find the deepest node in it.

Examples:

Input : Root of below tree
            1
          /   \
         2      3
        / \    / \ 
       4   5  6   7
                   \
                    8
Output : 8

Input : Root of below tree
            1
          /   \
         2      3
               / 
              6  
Output : 6

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Method 1 : The idea is to do Inorder traversal of given binary tree. While doing Inorder traversal, we pass level of current node also. We keep track of maximum level seen so far and value of deepest node seen so far.

C++

// A C++ program to find value of the deepest node 
// in a given binary tree 
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// A tree node 
struct Node 
{ 
    int data; 
    struct Node *left, *right; 
}; 
  
// Utility function to create a new node 
Node *newNode(int data) 
{ 
    Node *temp = new Node; 
    temp->data = data; 
    temp->left = temp->right = NULL; 
    return temp; 
} 
  
// maxLevel : keeps track of maximum level seen so far. 
// res :  Value of deepest node so far. 
// level : Level of root 
void find(Node *root, int level, int &maxLevel;, int &res;) 
{ 
    if (root != NULL) 
    { 
        find(root->left, ++level, maxLevel, res); 
  
        // Update level and resue 
        if (level > maxLevel) 
        { 
            res = root->data; 
            maxLevel = level; 
        } 
  
        find(root->right, level, maxLevel, res); 
    } 
} 
  
// Returns value of deepest node 
int deepestNode(Node *root) 
{ 
    // Initialze result and max level 
    int res = -1; 
    int maxLevel = -1; 
  
    // Updates value "res" and "maxLevel" 
    // Note that res and maxLen are passed 
    // by reference. 
    find(root, 0, maxLevel, res); 
    return res; 
} 
  
// Driver program 
int main() 
{ 
    Node* root = newNode(1); 
    root->left = newNode(2); 
    root->right = newNode(3); 
    root->left->left = newNode(4); 
    root->right->left = newNode(5); 
    root->right->right = newNode(6); 
    root->right->left->right = newNode(7); 
    root->right->right->right = newNode(8); 
    root->right->left->right->left = newNode(9); 
    cout << deepestNode(root); 
    return 0; 
}
