在C语言中,我们可以使用递归的方式来编写一个程序,用于计算给定搜索关键字在二叉搜索树中的路径长度。这里我们假设二叉搜索树是一个标准的结构,即左子节点的值小于根节点,右子节点的值大于根节点。
```c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
// 定义二叉树结点
typedef struct TreeNode {
int val;
struct TreeNode *left;
struct TreeNode *right;
} TreeNode;
int minDistanceFromRoot(TreeNode* root, int target, int depth, int* pathLength) {
if (root == NULL) {
return -1; // 如果到达空节点,返回-1表示未找到目标
}
// 计算当前结点距离根的深度,并更新路径长度
*pathLength += depth;
// 检查是否找到了目标
if (root->val == target) {
return depth;
} else if (root->val < target) {
// 如果目标在右,向右子节点递归查找
return minDistanceFromRoot(root->right, target, depth + 1, pathLength);
} else {
// 否则,在左子节点继续查找
return minDistanceFromRoot(root->left, target, depth + 1, pathLength);
}
}
// 主函数
int main() {
TreeNode* root = ...; // 这里需要实际的二叉搜索树根节点
int target = ...; // 要查找的目标值
int pathLength = 0;
int result = minDistanceFromRoot(root, target, 0, &pathLength);
if (result != -1) {
printf("Path length from root to %d is %d\n", target, pathLength);
} else {
printf("Target not found in the tree.\n");
}
return 0;
}
```
在这个程序中,`minDistanceFromRoot` 函数会从根节点开始,通过递归检查每个节点,直到找到目标节点或遍历完整棵树。如果找到目标,它将返回当前到目标的距离;如果没有找到,返回-1。主函数中创建了这个函数的实例,并打印出结果。
