Given a binary tree and a leaf node from this tree. It is known that in 1s all nodes connected to a given node (left child, right child, and parent) get burned in 1 second. Then all the nodes which are connected through one intermediate get burned in 2 seconds, and so on. The task is to find the minimum time required to burn the complete binary tree.
Examples: 
 

Input : 
            1

It takes 7s to burn the complete tree. 
Recommended Practice

Approach: The idea is to store additional information for every node: 

  • Depth of left subtree.
  • Depth of right subtree.
  • The time required for the fire to reach the current node starting from the first leaf node burned.
  • A boolean variable to check if the initial burnt node is in the tree rooted under current node.

Before moving ahead with the approach let’s take a look at the tree below: 

            1
        /      \          
       2        3
     /   \     /
    4     5   6 
   /     / \
  8     9   10
       /
      11

In the above tree, if we set the leaf node 11 at fire. 

  • In 1s, the fire will reach node 9.
  • In 2s, the fire will reach node 5.
  • In 3rd second, the fire will reach node 2 and 10. Here comes an observation: 
    • In 2s fire reached node 5. For node 5, the initial burned leaf is in it’s left subtree, so the time taken to burn right subtree will be the height of the right subtree which is 1. Therefore, fire reaches to node 10 in (2+1) = 3s.
    • Again, for node 2. Fire reached to node 2 in 3s from right subtree. Therefore, time taken to burn left subtree will be it’s height.

So the solution is to apply recursion and for every node calculate the below-required values:  

  • Left Depth.
  • Right Depth.
  • The time required for fire to reach the current node.
  • Is the current subtree contains initial burnt leaf node.

So, for the minimum time required to burn any subtree will be: 

The time required for fire to reach the root node from initial burnt leaf + depth of the opposite side 

Therefore, to find time required to burn the complete tree, we need to calculate the above value for every node, and take maximum of that value. 

ans = max(ans, (time required for fire to reach current node + depth of other subtree))

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ code to implement the approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Structure of a tree node
struct Node {
    int key;
    struct Node* left;

    {
        key = k;
        left = right = NULL;
    }
};
 
int res = 0;
 
// Function to find the time for the tree to burn
int burnTime(Node* root, int leaf, int& dist)
{
    if (root == NULL)
        return 0;
    if (root->key == leaf) {
        dist = 0;
        return 1;
    }
    int ldist = -1, rdist = -1;
    int lh = burnTime(root->left, leaf, ldist);
    int rh = burnTime(root->right, leaf, rdist);
 
    if (ldist != -1) {
        dist = ldist + 1;
        res = max(res, dist + rh);
    }
    else if (rdist != -1) {
        dist = rdist + 1;
        res = max(res, dist + lh);
    }
    return max(lh, rh) + 1;

Another Approach: We can relate this problem to Min distance between two given nodes of a Binary Tree. The only thing here changes is we have to find the maximum distance between the target node and leaf nodes.

Algo:

  • Create a hashmap and find the node to parent mapping.
  • Make pointers that will point to the node having a value target.
  • Write a function that will call recursively to itself and returns the distance to all leaf nodes.
  • Return the maximum distance among them.

Output

Time Complexity: O(n) since we are traversing the tree in all three directions from the target node.
Auxiliary Space: O(n) since we are storing the parent of each node.
