222. Count Complete Tree Nodes

Medium

Given the root of a complete binary tree, return the number of the nodes in the tree.

According to Wikipedia, every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled in a complete binary tree, and all nodes in the last level are as far left as possible. It can have between 1 and 2h nodes inclusive at the last level h.

Design an algorithm that runs in less than O(n) time complexity.

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5,6]

Output: 6

Example 2:

Input: root = []

Output: 0

Example 3:

Input: root = [1]

Output: 1

Solution

from typing import Optional

class TreeNode:
    def __init__(self, val: int = 0, left: Optional["TreeNode"] = None, right: Optional["TreeNode"] = None):
        self.val = val
        self.left = left
        self.right = right

class Solution:
    def countNodes(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
        if root is None:
            return 0
        left_height = self._left_height(root)
        right_height = self._right_height(root)
        if left_height == right_height:
            return (1 << left_height) - 1
        return 1 + self.countNodes(root.left) + self.countNodes(root.right)

    def _left_height(self, node: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
        if node is None:
            return 0
        return 1 + self._left_height(node.left)

    def _right_height(self, node: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
        if node is None:
            return 0
        return 1 + self._right_height(node.right)
