Given a binary tree, print it vertically. The following example illustrates vertical order traversal.
1
/ \
2 3
/ \ / \
4 5 6 7
\ \
8 9
The output of print this tree vertically will be:
4
2
1 5 6
3 8
7
9

这里垂直访问的意思是,每一列给它一个列号,左孩子比根的列号减1,右孩子比根的加1.列号相同的打印在同一行。
所以最直接的方法是,先把列数找出来。然后每一列打印,遍历树就行,只要列号等于它就打印出来。时间复杂度等于列数*树遍历,最坏情况就是O(n^2)。
If two nodes have the same Horizontal Distance (HD), then they are on same vertical line.
更简单的方法是,直接用一个hashmap,key是列号,value就是所有同一列的数,遍历一次树填好hashmap,然后就可以遍历一次hashmap把所有数按列打印出来。

Print Nodes in Top View of Binary Tree
Top view of a binary tree is the set of nodes visible when the tree is viewed from the top. Given a binary tree, print the top view of it. The output nodes can be printed in any order. Expected time complexity is O(n)
A node x is there in output if x is the topmost node at its horizontal distance. Horizontal distance of a child of a node x is equal to horizontal distance of x minus 1, and that of right child is horizontal distance of x plus 1.

Top view of the above binary tree is

Top view of the above binary tree is

同样,只是把每一列第一个数打印出来。因为可以print in any order,所以用hashset来记录是否存在,如果不存在就可以打印了,并加入到hashset中。
