Same Binary Tree
Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Same Binary Tree' problem.
Problem Statement
Given the roots of two binary trees p and q, write a function to check if they are the same or not.
Two binary trees are considered the same if they are structurally identical, and the nodes have the same value.
The trees are represented as level-order lists. Implement a function isSameTree(p: list, q: list) -> bool.
- •The number of nodes in both trees is in the range [0, 100]
- •-10000 <= Node.val <= 10000
Examples
[1,2,3], [1,2,3]
True
Both trees have the same structure and values.
[1,2], [1,None,2]
False
In the first tree, 2 is the left child. In the second tree, 2 is the right child. Different structures.
[1,2,1], [1,1,2]
False
Same structure but different values at the children.
