Pull Request Overview

This PR implements a solution for LeetCode problem 236 "Lowest Common Ancestor of a Binary Tree" using a recursive depth-first search approach. The solution finds the lowest common ancestor of two given nodes in a binary tree.

  • Implements recursive DFS algorithm with O(N) time and space complexity
  • Adds comprehensive unit tests covering multiple test cases including edge cases
  • Uses proper Java coding conventions and includes complexity analysis documentation

[nitpick] The explicit this. qualifier is unnecessary when calling the method on the same instance. Remove this. to follow Java conventions.

Suggested change
TreeNode left = this.lowestCommonAncestor(root.left, p, q);
TreeNode right = this.lowestCommonAncestor(root.right, p, q);
TreeNode left = lowestCommonAncestor(root.left, p, q);
TreeNode right = lowestCommonAncestor(root.right, p, q);
