Problem

Given the root of a binary tree and two integers val and depth, add a row of nodes with value val at the given depth depth. Note that the root node is at depth 1. The adding rule is:
  • Given the integer depth, for each not null tree node cur at the depth depth - 1, create two tree nodes with value val as cur’s left subtree root and right subtree root.
  • cur’s original left subtree should be the left subtree of the new left subtree root.
  • cur’s original right subtree should be the right subtree of the new right subtree root.
  • If depth == 1 that means there is no depth depth - 1 at all, then create a tree node with value val as the new root of the whole original tree, and the original tree is the new root’s left subtree.

Examples

Example 1
Example 2

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 10^4]
  • The depth of the tree is in the range [1, 10^4]
  • -100 <= Node.val <= 100
  • -10^5 <= val <= 10^5
  • 1 <= depth <= the depth of tree + 1
