Solution: Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree III
Let’s solve the Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree III problem using the Two Pointers pattern.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
You are given two nodes, p
and q
. The task is to return their lowest common ancestor (LCA). Both nodes have a reference to their parent node. The tree’s root is not provided; you must use the parent pointers to find the nodes’ common ancestor.
Note: The lowest common ancestor of two nodes,
p
andq
, is the lowest node in the binary tree, with bothp
andq
as descendants.In a tree, a descendant of a node is any node reachable by following edges downward from that node, including the node itself.
