Expression Evaluation.java

H

Build Expression Tree的另外一个变形，依然Min Tree.

build好Min Tree以后，做PostTraversal. Divde and Conquer：   
先recursively找到 left和right的大小， 然后evaluate中间的符号。

Note:
1. Handle数字时，若left&&right Child全Null,那必定是我们weight最大的数字node了。   
2. 若有个child是null,那就return另外一个node。    
3. prevent Integer overflow　during operation:过程中用个Long，最后结局在cast back to int.

```
/*
Given an expression string array, return the final result of this expression

Example
For the expression 2*6-(23+7)/(1+2), input is

[
  "2", "*", "6", "-", "(",
  "23", "+", "7", ")", "/",
  (", "1", "+", "2", ")"
],
return 2

Note
The expression contains only integer, +, -, *, /, (, ).

/*
Thoughts:
Build expression tree, then traverse it in post-traversal order. 
Tricky point: Whenever that's a operator, do operation. return final result.
