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.
Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5,6] Output: 6
Input: root = [] Output: 0
Input: root = [1] Output: 1
- 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.
Traversing the tree to count the number of nodes in the tree is an easy solution but with O(n) complexity. Could you find a faster algorithm?
