Nested List Weight Sum II

Medium

Given a nested list of integers, return the sum of all integers in the list weighted by their depth.

Each element is either an integer, or a list -- whose elements may also be integers or other lists.

Different from theprevious questionwhere weight is increasing from root to leaf, now the weight is defined from bottom up. i.e., the leaf level integers have weight 1, and the root level integers have the largest weight.

Example 1:

Input: 
[[1,1],2,[1,1]]
Output: 
8 

Explanation: 
F
our 1's at depth 1, one 2 at depth 2.

Example 2:

Input: 
[1,[4,[6]]]
Output: 
17 

Explanation:
 O
ne 1 at depth 3, one 4 at depth 2, and one 6 at depth 1; 1*3 + 4*2 + 6*1 = 17.

Solution & Analysis

BFS

public int depthSumInverse(List<NestedInteger> nestedList) {
        if (nestedList == null) return 0;
        Queue<NestedInteger> queue = new LinkedList<NestedInteger>();
        int prev = 0;
        int total = 0;
        for (NestedInteger next: nestedList) {
            queue.offer(next);
        }

        while (!queue.isEmpty()) {
            int size = queue.size();
            int levelSum = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
                NestedInteger current = queue.poll();
                if (current.isInteger()) levelSum += current.getInteger();
                List<NestedInteger> nextList = current.getList();
                if (nextList != null) {
                    for (NestedInteger next: nextList) {
                        queue.offer(next);
                    }
                }
            }
            prev += levelSum;
            total += prev;
        }
        return total;
    }
