Given a Binary Tree check whether it is skewed binary tree or not. A skewed tree is a tree where each node has only one child node or none.
Examples:
Input : 5 / 4 \ 3 / 2 Output : Yes Input : 5 / 4 \ 3 / \ 2 4 Output : No
The idea is to check if a node has two children. If node has two children return false, else recursively compute whether subtree with one child is skewed tree. If node is leaf node return true.
Below is the implementation of above approach:
C++
// C++ program to Check whether a given // binary tree is skewed binary tree or not? #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // A Tree node struct Node { int key; struct Node *left, *right; }; // Utility function to create a new node Node* newNode( int key) { Node* temp = new Node; temp->key = key; temp->left = temp->right = NULL; return (temp); } bool isSkewedBT(Node* root) { // check if node is NULL or is a leaf node if (root == NULL || (root->left == NULL && root->right == NULL)) return true ; // check if node has two children if // yes, return false if (root->left && root->right) return false ; if (root->left) return isSkewedBT(root->left); return isSkewedBT(root->right); } // Driver program int main() { /* 10 / \ 12 13 / \ 14 15 / \ / \ 21 22 23 24 Let us create Binary Tree shown in above example */ Node* root = newNode(10); root->left = newNode(12); root->left->right = newNode(15); cout << isSkewedBT(root) << endl; root = newNode(5); root->right = newNode(4); root->right->left = newNode(3); root->right->left->right = newNode(2); cout << isSkewedBT(root) << endl; root = newNode(5); root->left = newNode(4); root->left->right = newNode(3); root->left->right->left = newNode(2); root->left->right->right = newNode(4); cout << isSkewedBT(root) << endl; } |

Time complexity of this solution is
Best case : O(1) when root has two children.
Worst case : O(h) when tree is skewed tree.
