Problem

Given the root of a binary tree with unique values and the values of two different nodes of the tree x and y, return true if the nodes corresponding to the values x and y in the tree are cousins, or false otherwise. Two nodes of a binary tree are cousins if they have the same depth with different parents. Note that in a binary tree, the root node is at the depth 0, and children of each depth k node are at the depth k + 1.

Examples

Example 1
Example 2
Example 3

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [2, 100]
  • 1 <= Node.val <= 100
  • Each node has a unique value
  • x != y
  • x and y exist in the tree

Solution
