Leetcode Solutions

Recursive Depth Calculation and LCA Determination

  1. Define a recursive function helper that takes a TreeNode as an argument and returns a pair of TreeNode and integer.
  2. If the current node is null, return a pair of null and 0.
  3. Recursively call helper for the left and right children of the current node.
  4. Compare the depths returned by the left and right subtree.
  5. If the depths are equal, the current node is the LCA of the deepest leaves.
  6. If the depths are different, return the node and depth from the subtree with the greater depth.
