leetcode: 87. Scramble String

Problem

# Given a string s1, we may represent it as a binary tree by partitioning it to two non-empty substrings recursively.
#
# Below is one possible representation of s1 = "great":
#
#     great
#    /    \
#   gr    eat
#  / \    /  \
# g   r  e   at
#            / \
#           a   t
# To scramble the string, we may choose any non-leaf node and swap its two children.
#
# For example, if we choose the node "gr" and swap its two children, it produces a scrambled string "rgeat".
#
#     rgeat
#    /    \
#   rg    eat
#  / \    /  \
# r   g  e   at
#            / \
#           a   t
# We say that "rgeat" is a scrambled string of "great".
#
# Similarly, if we continue to swap the children of nodes "eat" and "at", it produces a scrambled string "rgtae".
#
#     rgtae
#    /    \
#   rg    tae
#  / \    /  \
# r   g  ta  e
#        / \
#       t   a
# We say that "rgtae" is a scrambled string of "great".
#
# Given two strings s1 and s2 of the same length, determine if s2 is a scrambled string of s1.
