Count Complete Tree Nodes

Given a complete binary tree, count the number of nodes.

Definition of a complete binary tree from Wikipedia: In a complete binary tree every level, except possibly the last, is completely filled, 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.

Solution:

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * public class TreeNode {
 *     int val;
 *     TreeNode left;
 *     TreeNode right;
 *     TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
 * }
 */
public class Solution {
    public int countNodes(TreeNode root) {
        if(root==null) return 0;
        int ans = 0;
        while(root!=null){
            int leftHeight = height(root.left);
            int rightHeight = height(root.right);
            if(leftHeight==rightHeight){
                root = root.right;
                ans += 1<<leftHeight;
            } else {
                root = root.left;
                ans += 1<<rightHeight;
            }
        }
        return ans;
    }
    public int height(TreeNode root){
        int height = 0;
        while(root!=null){
            height++;
            root = root.left;
        }
        return height;
    }
}
