Two elements of a binary search tree (BST) are swapped by mistake.

Recover the tree without changing its structure.

 

Ref:http://fisherlei.blogspot.com/2012/12/leetcode-recover-binary-search-tree.html

O(1)的解法就是

Inorder traverse, keep the previous tree node,

Find first misplaced node by

if ( current.val < prev.val )

   Node first = prev;

Find second by

if ( current.val < prev.val )

   Node second = current;

After traversal, swap the values of first and second node. Only need two pointers, prev and current node. O(1) space.

但是这个解法的前提是Traverse Tree without Stack. 中序遍历如何才能不使用栈。这里就要引入一个概念， 。So, we first create links to Inorder successor and print the data using these links, and finally revert the changes to restore original tree.

1. Initialize current as root 2. While current is not NULL   If current does not have left child      a) Print current’s data      b) Go to the right, i.e., current = current->right   Else      a) Make current as right child of the rightmost node in current's left subtree      b) Go to this left child, i.e., current = current->left
