One way to serialize a binary tree is to use preorder traversal. When we encounter a non-null node, we record the node's value. If it is a null node, we record using a sentinel value such as '#'
.
For example, the above binary tree can be serialized to the string "9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#"
, where '#'
represents a null node.
Given a string of comma-separated values preorder
, return true
if it is a correct preorder traversal serialization of a binary tree.
It is guaranteed that each comma-separated value in the string must be either an integer or a character '#'
representing null pointer.
You may assume that the input format is always valid.
- For example, it could never contain two consecutive commas, such as
"1,,3"
.
Input: preorder = "9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#" Output: true
Input: preorder = "1,#" Output: false
Input: preorder = "9,#,#,1" Output: false
1 <= preorder.length <= 104
preoder
consist of integers in the range[0, 100]
and'#'
separated by commas','
.
