Description#
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
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[0, 5 * 104]. 0 <= Node.val <= 5 * 104- The tree is guaranteed to be complete.
Solutions#
Solution 1: Recursion#
We recursively traverse the entire tree and count the number of nodes.
The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(n)$, where $n$ is the number of nodes in the tree.

Solution 2: Binary Search#
For this problem, we can also take advantage of the characteristics of a complete binary tree to design a faster algorithm.
Characteristics of a complete binary tree: leaf nodes can only appear on the bottom and second-to-bottom layers, and the leaf nodes on the bottom layer are concentrated on the left side of the tree. It should be noted that a full binary tree is definitely a complete binary tree, but a complete binary tree is not necessarily a full binary tree.
If the number of layers in a full binary tree is $h$, then the total number of nodes is $2^h - 1$.
We first count the heights of the left and right subtrees of $root$, denoted as $left$ and $right$.
- If $left = right$, it means that the left subtree is a full binary tree, so the total number of nodes in the left subtree is $2^{left} - 1$. Plus the $root$ node, it is $2^{left}$. Then we recursively count the right subtree.
- If $left > right$, it means that the right subtree is a full binary tree, so the total number of nodes in the right subtree is $2^{right} - 1$. Plus the $root$ node, it is $2^{right}$. Then we recursively count the left subtree.
The time complexity is $O(\log^2 n)$.
