Given the root and two nodes in a Binary Tree. Find the lowest common ancestor(LCA) of the two nodes.
The lowest common ancestor is the node with largest depth which is the ancestor of both nodes.
Return null
if LCA does not exist.
Example
Example1
Input:
{4, 3, 7, #, #, 5, 6}
3 5
5 6
6 7
5 8
Output:
4
7
7
null
Explanation:

3 7
/ \
5 6
LCA(3, 5) = 4
LCA(5, 6) = 7
LCA(6, 7) = 7
LCA(5, 8) = null
Example2
Input:
{1}
1 1
Output:
1
Explanation:
The tree is just a node, whose value is 1.
Notice
node A or node B may not exist in tree.
Each node has a different value
思路:用hasA,hasB,node来表示resultType,node表示找到的可能的candidate,并不是表示commonNode,因为最后还要判断A,B 同时存在的情况下,才返回node
