The problem

Two binary trees are the same when they have the same shape and every pair of matching nodes holds the same value. Given two trees, return whether they are the same.

Input format

Two trees, each in the usual heap-array format, one after the other.

Example

Input:
3
4 7 9
3
4 9 7
Output: false

Same shape, but the 7 and the 9 have swapped sides.

Constraints

  • 0 <= number of nodes in each tree <= 100
  • -10^4 <= node value <= 10^4

How it's graded

  • Run checks your code against the examples. Submit also runs a hidden suite in four groups - basic cases, edge cases, random inputs and performance tests at the size limit - and shows which groups pass, never the hidden inputs.
  • Stuck? Hints come in four steps, from a nudge to a code skeleton, each costing part of the points.
  • Once you pass, you see the approaches from brute force to optimal, and where your solution lands among them.
