You have a binary tree with a small defect. There is exactly one invalid node where its right child incorrectly points to another node at the same depth but to the invalid node's right.
Given the root of the binary tree with this defect, root
, return the
root of the binary tree after removing this invalid node and
every node underneath it (minus the node it incorrectly points
to).
Custom testing:
The test input is read as 3 lines:
TreeNode root
int fromNode
(not available to correctBinaryTree
)
int toNode
(not available to correctBinaryTree
)
After the binary tree rooted at root
is parsed, the
TreeNode
with value of fromNode
will have its right child
pointer pointing to the TreeNode
with a value of toNode
.
Then, root
is passed to correctBinaryTree
.
Example 1:
Input: root = [1,2,3], fromNode = 2, toNode = 3 Output: [1,null,3] Explanation: The node with value 2 is invalid, so remove it.
Example 2:
Input: root = [8,3,1,7,null,9,4,2,null,null,null,5,6], fromNode = 7, toNode = 4 Output: [8,3,1,null,null,9,4,null,null,5,6] Explanation: The node with value 7 is invalid, so remove it and the node underneath it, node 2.
Constraints:
[3, 104]
.
-109 <= Node.val <= 109
Node.val
are unique.fromNode != toNode
fromNode
and toNode
will exist in the tree and will be
on the same depth.
toNode
is to the right of fromNode
.
fromNode.right
is null
in the initial tree from the
test data.
