NOT confusing explanation, soothing and clear voice, so glad I found you! great work! thanks Alvin

[@IldarSagdejev]

The recursive depth-first traversal is essentially the same as the solution using a stack, it's just that you're using the call stack as the stack for the algorithm.

[@khaled_hawwas]

Yes but i think calling function will use more momery and time .

[@deniskhakimov]

This guy is the best! I just wanted to brush up on this topic and stumbled upon this precious lecture. Now I want to watch all his lessons 🤓👍

[@HollowSoulju]

Alvin was born to teach anything coding related I'm certain. Got introduced to him while going through app academy and everytime i see a video of his I'll watch it several times over. Ofc I try to make an independent attempt at understanding but the amount of clarity that comes from him is amazing. Thank you

[@yuasufhelal7181]

Truly ❤

[@Secretzstolen]

I love that he goes over all the common mistakes people often make on the first try! It's very normalizing to see him show those mistakes, makes me feel much better lol, and also the explanations of those mistakes dig deeper and improve our understanding.

[@muktarsayeed9198]

I like the way you broke down the recursion problems into base cases and general cases and tackled each one independently then combined it for the final solution. I think my issue was I tried to solve it in one go which led to me getting stuck. The recursive problems can be a real head wrecker if you're not careful!!

[@akshaychavan5511]

Alvin is right. It's tricky to implement BFS using recurision and I did implement it - def BFS_recursive(root: Node): def myBFS(root:Node): if not root: return [] result = [] if root.left: result.append(root.left.val) if root.right: result.append(root.right.val) leftValues = myBFS(root.left) # [d,e] rightValues = myBFS(root.right) # [f] result+=(leftValues+rightValues) return result return [root.val]+myBFS(root) print('Recursive BFS output as list =>') print(BFS_recursive(a))

[@hafizmo3480]

Great material. 1:20:25 BinaryTree is supposed to store lower value on the left and greater on the right. private int getMin(BinaryTree bt) { if(bt == null) return -1; if(bt.left == null) return bt.val; return getMin(bt.left); }

[@suar_pilla]

Looks like its a wrong diagram

[@hafizmo3480]

@@suar_pilla Actually BST(Binary Search Tree) is supposed to store smaller value on the left, that doesn't apply to Binary Tree. Wording is little bit confusing

[@swaminathbera6407]

For info., In BST, there is no strict rule that less elements should go to left subtree, it's just an convention. You can make a BST where greater elements go to left and smaller go to right. You just need a partition

[@khaino6828]

This guy is the best data structure and algorithm instructor I have known so far….

[@tabhashim3887]

For the last problem (Max Root to Leaf Path Sum) I feel like writing it this way is a bit more elegant but also makes a bit more sense to me, in case it helps anyone: def max_r2l_R(root): if(root==None): return 0 return max( root.val+max_r2l_R(root.left), root.val+max_r2l_R(root.right) ) This has ONLY 1 base case, because if you are at a leaf node, When you recursively call the function on the children you will hit the base case, which will return 0, effectively not altering your sum. This is Python, but the idea should still hold :)

[@lucaslorenzo-v4n]

it is incredible the way that you explain these challenging concepts with ease. I also watched your DP video and its amazing. Keep it going with the content

[@diniaadil6154]

For the last problem, you could consider the null nodes as your base case but return 0 rather than negative infinity. In that way they would not contribute to the path sum, and you won't have to add leaf nodes in your base case as both paths would return your current node value + 0. However, this only works knowing that the node values are positive.

[@rajbhandari9605]

Thanks! I was wondering the same thing.

[@elab4d140]

I prefer solving graph algorithms (tree, dfs,bfs ... ) by usimg stack,it is so friendly compare to recursive

[@ojtechml]

If you're doing this in python a good alternative to the spread operator is the splat operator so: def depth_search_r(root): if root is None: return [] val_left = depth_search_r(root.left) val_right= depth_search_r(root.right) return [root.val, *val_left, *val_right] #splat operator flattens list returned

20:33 - Space complexity is actually O(h) where h = height of a tree

[@yonahgraphics]

I don't think so. Remember the maximum number of nodes that can be on a stack at any particular time is 3, so I think it is actually O(3) === O(1)

[@GrayOwl.]

The max for that example is 3 however as the tree grows so does the max number so in that case it's O(h) not O(1). However this is only true in ideal conditions, if the tree was unbalanced then the height tends to approach n hence it's also fair to consider the space complexity as O(n). The worst case of such an unbalanced tree would be a linkedList looking tree for example. So both O(n) and O(h) are right, but O(h) or even O(logn) are better answers for most real binary trees.

In the cycle example, it makes sense that there isn't necessarily 1 root. However, I'm not sure if the "exactly 1 path" is violated. I understand the infinite paths, but is it not enough to get to the desired node the first time? In other words, are we looking only at traversal possibilities and not the fact that traversal after finding the node is just a waste of time?
