Problem
A binary expression tree is a kind of binary tree used to represent arithmetic expressions. Each node of a binary expression tree has either zero or two children. Leaf nodes (nodes with 0 children) correspond to operands (variables), and internal nodes (nodes with two children) correspond to the operators. In this problem, we only consider the '+'
operator (i.e. addition).
You are given the roots of two binary expression trees, root1
and root2
. Return true
if the two binary expression trees are equivalent. Otherwise, return false
.
Two binary expression trees are equivalent if they evaluate to the same value regardless of what the variables are set to.

Example 1:
Input: root1 = [x], root2 = [x] Output: true
Example 2:
Input: root1 = [+,a,+,null,null,b,c], root2 = [+,+,a,b,c]
Output: true
Explanation: a + (b + c) == (b + c) + a
Example 3:
Input: root1 = [+,a,+,null,null,b,c], root2 = [+,+,a,b,d]
Output: false
Explanation: a + (b + c) != (b + d) + a

Constraints:
- The number of nodes in both trees are equal, odd and, in the range
[1, 4999]
. Node.val
is'+'
or a lower-case English letter.- It's guaranteed that the tree given is a valid binary expression tree.

Follow up: What will you change in your solution if the tree also supports the '-'
operator (i.e. subtraction)?
