7. Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree/297. Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree

• 本题难度: Medium/Hard
• Topic: Binary Tree

Description

Design an algorithm and write code to serialize and deserialize a binary tree. Writing the tree to a file is called ‘serialization‘ and reading back from the file to reconstruct the exact same binary tree is ‘deserialization‘.

Example
An example of testdata: Binary tree {3,9,20,#,#,15,7}, denote the following structure:

3
/ 9 20
/ 15 7
Our data serialization use bfs traversal. This is just for when you got wrong answer and want to debug the input.

You can use other method to do serializaiton and deserialization.

Notice
There is no limit of how you deserialize or serialize a binary tree, LintCode will take your output of serialize as the input of deserialize, it won‘t check the result of serialize.

        vals = []
        doit(root)
        return ‘ ‘.join(vals)

    def deserialize(self, data):
        def doit():
            val = next(vals)
            if val == ‘#‘:
                return None
            node = TreeNode(int(val))
            node.left = doit()
            node.right = doit()
            return node
        vals = iter(data.split())
        return doit()

思路
使用深度优先遍历，但是要注意占位。
