Description#
Given the root of a binary tree and two integers p
and q
, return the distance between the nodes of value p
and value q
in the tree.
The distance between two nodes is the number of edges on the path from one to the other.
Example 1:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/1740.Find%20Distance%20in%20a%20Binary%20Tree/images/binarytree.png)
Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 0
Output: 3
Explanation: There are 3 edges between 5 and 0: 5-3-1-0.
Example 2:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/1740.Find%20Distance%20in%20a%20Binary%20Tree/images/binarytree.png)
Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 7
Output: 2
Explanation: There are 2 edges between 5 and 7: 5-2-7.
Example 3:
![](https://spcdn.pages.dev/leetcode/problems/1740.Find%20Distance%20in%20a%20Binary%20Tree/images/binarytree.png)
Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4], p = 5, q = 5
Output: 0
Explanation: The distance between a node and itself is 0.
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[1, 104]
. 0 <= Node.val <= 109
- All
Node.val
are unique. p
and q
are values in the tree.
