Same Tree Problem & Solution

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.

See the same tree problem on LeetCode.

C++ Solution

#pragma GCC optimize("Ofast")
#pragma GCC optimization("max-inline-insns-recursive-auto")

static const int _=[](){std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();

/**
 * 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) {}
 * };
 */
class Solution {
public:
  bool isSameTree(TreeNode* p, TreeNode* q) {
    if (p == nullptr && q == nullptr) {
      return true;
    }

    if ((p == nullptr && q != nullptr) ||
        (p != nullptr && q == nullptr)) {
      return false;
    }

    return p->val == q->val &&
      isSameTree(p->left, q->left) &&
      isSameTree(p->right, q->right);
  }
