1214. Two Sum BSTs

Description

Given the roots of two binary search trees, root1 and root2, return true if and only if there is a node in the first tree and a node in the second tree whose values sum up to a given integer target.

Example 1:

Input: root1 = [2,1,4], root2 = [1,0,3], target = 5
Output: true
Explanation: 2 and 3 sum up to 5.

Example 2:

Input: root1 = [0,-10,10], root2 = [5,1,7,0,2], target = 18
Output: false

Constraints:

The number of nodes in each tree is in the range [1, 5000].
-10⁹ <= Node.val, target <= 10⁹

Solutions

Solution 1: In-order Traversal + Two Pointers

We perform in-order traversals on the two trees separately, obtaining two sorted arrays $nums[0]$ and $nums[1]$. Then we use a two-pointer method to determine whether there exist two numbers whose sum equals the target value. The two-pointer method is as follows:

Initialize two pointers $i$ and $j$, pointing to the left boundary of array $nums[0]$ and the right boundary of array $nums[1]$ respectively;

Each time, compare the sum $x = nums[0][i] + nums[1][j]$ with the target value. If $x = target$, return true; otherwise, if $x \lt target$, move $i$ one step to the right; otherwise, if $x \gt target$, move $j$ one step to the left.

The time complexity is $O(m + n)$, and the space complexity is $O(m + n)$. Here, $m$ and $n$ are the number of nodes in the two trees respectively.
