Smallest Subtree with all the Deepest Nodes

Given the root of a binary tree, the depth of each node is the shortest distance to the root.

Return the smallest subtree such that it contains all the deepest nodes in the original tree.

A node is called the deepest if it has the largest depth possible among any node in the entire tree.

The subtree of a node is a tree consisting of that node, plus the set of all descendants of that node.

Example 1
          3
        /   \
       5     1
      / \   / \
     6   2 0   8
        / \
       7   4
Inputroot = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4]
Output[2,7,4]
We return the node with value 2 because it is the smallest subtree containing all deepest nodes, 7 and 4.
Example 2
        1
Inputroot = [1]
Output[1]
The root is the deepest node in the tree.

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree will be in the range [1, 500].
  • 0 <= Node.val <= 500
  • The values of the nodes in the tree are unique.
