Number of Turns in Binary Tree
Given a binary tree and data value of two of its nodes. Find the number of turns needed to reach from one node to another in the given binary tree.
Example 1:
Input: Tree = 1 / \ 2 3 / \ / \ 4 5 6 7 / / \ 8 9 10 first node = 5 second node = 10 Output: 4 Explanation: Turns will be at 2, 1, 3, 6.
Example 2:
Input: Tree = 1 / \ 2 3 / \ / \ 4 5 6 7 / / \ 8 9 10 first node = 1 second node = 4 Output: -1 Explanation: No turn is required since they are in a straight line.
Your Task:
You don't need to read input or print anything. Complete the function NumberOFTurns() which takes root node and data value of 2 nodes as input parameters and returns the number of turns required to navigate between them. If the two nodes are in a straight line, ie- the path does not involve any turns, return -1.
Expected Time Complexity: O(N)
Expected Auxiliary Space: O(Height of Tree)
Constraints:
1 ≤ N ≤ 103
