## 108. Convert Sorted Array to Binary Search Tree

## 题目地址

<https://leetcode.com/problems/convert-sorted-array-to-binary-search-tree/>

## 题目描述

```
Given an array where elements are sorted in ascending order, convert it to a height balanced BST.

For this problem, a height-balanced binary tree is defined as a binary tree in which the depth of the two subtrees of every node never differ by more than 1.

Example:
Given the sorted array: [-10,-3,0,5,9],
One possible answer is: [0,-3,9,-10,null,5], which represents the following height balanced BST:

      0
     / \
   -3   9
   /   /
 -10  5
```

## 代码

### Approach #1 Preorder Traversal: Always Choose Left Middle Node as a Root

`int p = (left + right) / 2;`

* `root = p`
* `root.left = [left, m-1]`
* `root.right = [m+1, right]`

```java
/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
class Solution {
  public TreeNode sortedArrayToBST(int[] nums) {
    return helper(nums, 0, nums.length - 1);
  }

  public TreeNode helper(int[] nums, int left, int right) {
    if (left > right) return null;

    // always choose left middle node as a root
    int p = (left + right) / 2;

    // inorder traversal: left -> node -> right
    TreeNode root = new TreeNode(nums[p]);
    root.left = helper(left, p - 1);
    root.right = helper(p + 1, right);
    return root;
  }

}
```

### Approach #2 Preorder Traversel: Always Choose Right Middle Node as a Root

```java
class Solution {
  public TreeNode sortedArrayToBST(int[] nums) {
    this.nums = nums;
    return helper(0, nums.length - 1);
  }

  public TreeNode helper(int left, int right) {
    if (left > right) return null;

    // always choose right middle node as a root
    int p = (left + right) / 2;
    if ((left + right) % 2 == 1) ++p;

    // inorder traversal: left -> node -> right
    TreeNode root = new TreeNode(nums[p]);
    root.left = helper(left, p - 1);
    root.right = helper(p + 1, right);
    return root;
  }
}
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://wentao-shao.gitbook.io/leetcode/binary-tree/108.convert-sorted-array-to-binary-search-tree.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
