Tree

Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree

**Problem Statement:** Given the required input arguments, write an efficient algorithm to solve the **Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree** problem. Implement the required logic as specified by standard definitions for this classic algorithmic challenge. **Hint / Expected Approach:** BFS or preorder with null markers **Edge Cases to Consider:** - (1) Empty tree - (2) Tree with all nulls on one side - (3) Single node

Examples

Example 1
Input: [1,2,3,null,null,4,5], e.g. "1,2,3,null,null,4,5" → same tree
Output: Classic
Explanation: Classic
Example 2
Input: [], "" or "null" → null
Output: Empty
Explanation: Empty
Example 3
Input: [1], "1" → [1]
Output: Single node
Explanation: Single node

Constraints

  • ▪The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 2000]
  • ▪-1000 <= Node.val <= 1000
  • ▪Ensure depth-first or breadth-first traversals are memory-efficient

Watch Out For Edge Cases

  • ▪Empty tree
  • ▪Tree with all nulls on one side
  • ▪Single node
