DIY: All Nodes Distance K in Binary Tree
Solve the interview question "All Nodes Distance K in Binary Tree" yourself in this lesson.
We'll cover the following
Problem statement
We are given a binary tree (with a root node root
), a target
node, and an integer value, K
.
Return an array of the values of all nodes that are K
distance from the target
node.
Input
The following is an example input:
3
/ \
5 1
| / \
2 15 7
/ \
7 4
target = 5
K = 2
Output
The following is an example output:
[7,4,1]
The nodes that are a distance 2
from the target node 5
have the values 7
, 4
, and 1
.
Coding exercise
For this coding exercise, you need to implement the distanceK(root, target, K)
function, where root
is the root node of the binary tree and target
is where we start calculating the distance K
. The function will return an array of the values of all the nodes that are K
distance from the target
node.
