Given two nodes of a binary tree p
and q
, return their lowest
common ancestor (LCA).
Each node will have a reference to its parent node. The definition for
Node
is below:
class Node { public int val; public Node left; public Node right; public Node parent; }
According to the definition of LCA on Wikipedia: "The lowest common ancestor of two nodes p and q in a tree T is the lowest node that has both p and q as descendants (where we allow a node to be a descendant of itself)."
Example 1:
Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 1 Output: 3 Explanation: The LCA of nodes 5 and 1 is 3.
Example 2:
Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 4 Output: 5 Explanation: The LCA of nodes 5 and 4 is 5 since a node can be a descendant of itself according to the LCA definition.
Example 3:
Input: root = [1,2], p = 1, q = 2 Output: 1
Constraints:
[2, 105]
.
-109 <= Node.val <= 109
Node.val
are unique.p != q
p
and q
exist in the tree.
