Lowest Common Ancestor of Deepest Leaves
Provided the root of a binary tree, produce the lowest common ancestor of its deepest leaves.
Recall that:
-
The node of a binary tree is a leaf if and only if it has no children
-
The depth of the root of the tree is
0. if the depth of a node isd, the depth of each of its children isd + 1. -
The lowest common ancestor of a set
Sof nodes, is the nodeAwith the largest depth such that every node inSis in the subtree with rootA.

Input: root = [3,5,1,6,2,0,8,null,null,7,4]
Output: [2,7,4]
Explanation: We produce the node with value 2, colored in yellow in the diagram.
The nodes coloured in blue are the deepest leaf-nodes of the tree.
Note that nodes 6, 0, and 8 are also leaf nodes, but the depth of them is 2, but the depth of nodes 7 and 4 is 3.
Input: root = [1]
Output: [1]
Explanation: The root is the deepest node in the tree, and it's the lca of itself.
Input: root = [0,1,3,null,2]
Output: [2]
Explanation: The deepest leaf node in the tree is 2, the lca of one node is itself.
Constraints
- The number of nodes in the tree will be in the range
[1, 1000]. 0 <= Node.val <= 1000- The values of the nodes in the tree are unique.
