[Algorithm/DS] Leetcode#993. Cousins in Binary Tree

Given the root of a binary tree with unique values and the values of two different nodes of the tree x and y, return true if the nodes corresponding to the values x and y in the tree are cousins, or false otherwise.

Two nodes of a binary tree are cousins if they have the same depth with different parents.

Note that in a binary tree, the root node is at the depth 0, and children of each depth k node are at the depth k + 1.

Example 1:

Input: root = [1,2,3,4], x = 4, y = 3
Output: false

Example 2:

Input: root = [1,2,3,null,4,null,5], x = 5, y = 4
Output: true

Example 3:

Input: root = [1,2,3,null,4], x = 2, y = 3
Output: false

Constraints:

• The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [2, 100].
• 1 <= Node.val <= 100
• Each node has a unique value.
• x != y
• x and y are exist in the tree.

Time Complexity: O(N) ; We will be doing Binary Tree Level Order Traversal along with keeping track of the “depth” and “parent node value”.

Space Complexity: O(Size of queue)
