LeetCode 617. Merge Two Binary Trees

Given two binary trees and imagine that when you put one of them to cover the other, some nodes of the two trees are overlapped while the others are not.

You need to merge them into a new binary tree. The merge rule is that if two nodes overlap, then sum node values up as the new value of the merged node. Otherwise, the NOT null node will be used as the node of new tree.

Example 1:

Note: The merging process must start from the root nodes of both trees.
难度：简单
可以使用深度优先搜索合并两个二叉树。从根节点开始同时遍历两个二叉树，并将对应的节点进行合并。

两个二叉树的对应节点可能存在以下三种情况，对于每种情况使用不同的合并方式。

如果两个二叉树的对应节点都为空，则合并后的二叉树的对应节点也为空；

如果两个二叉树的对应节点只有一个为空，则合并后的二叉树的对应节点为其中的非空节点；

如果两个二叉树的对应节点都不为空，则合并后的二叉树的对应节点的值为两个二叉树的对应节点的值之和，此时需要显性合并两个节点。

对一个节点进行合并之后，还要对该节点的左右子树分别进行合并。这是一个递归的过程。

class Solution {
public:
    TreeNode* mergeTrees(TreeNode* t1, TreeNode* t2) {
        TreeNode* ans=NULL;
        if(t1&&t2){
            t1->val=t1->val+t2->val;
            ans=t1;
            ans->left=mergeTrees(t1->left,t2->left);
            ans->right=mergeTrees(t1->right,t2->right);
        } 
        else if(t1||t2){
            ans=t1?t1:t2;
        } 
        return ans;

    }
};
