{ "data": { "question": { "questionId": "331", "questionFrontendId": "331", "boundTopicId": null, "title": "Verify Preorder Serialization of a Binary Tree", "titleSlug": "verify-preorder-serialization-of-a-binary-tree", "content": "

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 '#'.

\n\"\"\n

For example, the above binary tree can be serialized to the string "9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#", where '#' represents a null node.

\n\n

Given a string of comma-separated values preorder, return true if it is a correct preorder traversal serialization of a binary tree.

\n\n

It is guaranteed that each comma-separated value in the string must be either an integer or a character '#' representing null pointer.

\n\n

You may assume that the input format is always valid.

\n\n\n\n

Note: You are not allowed to reconstruct the tree.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n
Input: preorder = \"9,3,4,#,#,1,#,#,2,#,6,#,#\"\nOutput: true\n

Example 2:

\n
Input: preorder = \"1,#\"\nOutput: false\n

Example 3:

\n
Input: preorder = \"9,#,#,1\"\nOutput: false\n
