Same Tree

Problem​

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.

 

Example 1:

Input: p = [1,2,3], q = [1,2,3]
Output: true

Example 2:

Input: p = [1,2], q = [1,null,2]
Output: false

Example 3:

Input: p = [1,2,1], q = [1,1,2]
Output: false

 

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in both trees is in the range [0, 100].
  • -104 <= Node.val <= 104

Solution​

/**
 * Definition for a binary tree node.
 * function TreeNode(val, left, right) {
 *     this.val = (val===undefined ? 0 : val)
 *     this.left = (left===undefined ? null : left)
 *     this.right = (right===undefined ? null : right)
 * }
 */
/**
 * @param {TreeNode} p
 * @param {TreeNode} q
 * @return {boolean}
 */
var isSameTree = function(p, q) {
    if (!p && !q) {
        return true;
    } else if (p?.val === q?.val) {
        return isSameTree(p.left, q.left) && isSameTree(p.right, q.right);
    } else {
        return false;
    }
};

Recursively check whether the trees p and q have the same root and subtrees.
