Problem

Given a root of an N-ary tree, return a deep copy (clone) of the tree. Each node in the n-ary tree contains a val (int) and a list (List[Node]) of its children.
Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal, each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples).

Examples

Example 1
Example 2

Constraints

  • The depth of the n-ary tree is less than or equal to 1000.
  • The total number of nodes is between [0, 10^4].
