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
andy
are exist in the tree.
The solution to the above question
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode *left;
* TreeNode *right;
* TreeNode() : val(0), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
* TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(nullptr), right(nullptr) {}
* TreeNode(int x, TreeNode *left, TreeNode *right) : val(x), left(left), right(right) {}
* };
