Leetcode Problem 968. Binary Tree Cameras

968. Binary Tree Cameras

Leetcode Solutions

Greedy Bottom-Up Approach

  1. Perform a post-order traversal of the tree.
  2. Use a recursive function that returns the state of a node (0, 1, or 2).
    • State 0: Node is not covered by a camera.
    • State 1: Node is covered by a camera, but does not have a camera itself.
    • State 2: Node has a camera.
  3. If any child of the current node is in state 0, place a camera at the current node and return state 2.
  4. If any child of the current node is in state 2, return state 1 for the current node as it is covered.
  5. If all children are in state 1, return state 0 as this node is not covered.
  6. If the root node is in state 0, increment the camera count as it needs a camera.
  7. Return the total number of cameras needed.
