Im having trouble with a method that finds the height of the closest leaf. What i have just counts all of the leafs. would i have to separate the recursive calls into two conditional statements to check each one independently? any help or suggestions would be appreciated
this is my method
this is my method
Code:
//find the distance to the closest leaf
public int closeLeaf()
{
int distance;
return distance = closeLeaf(root);
}
private int closeLeaf(StringNode n)
{
int dist = 0;
if(n == null)
{
dist = 0;//empty tree
}
else if(n.getLeft()== null && n.getRight()== null)
{
dist++;
}
else
{
dist =closeLeaf(n.getLeft()) + closeLeaf(n.getRight());
}
return dist;
}
