Validate Binary Tree Nodes Problem

You are provided with 'N' binary tree nodes labeled from 0 to N-1, where node i has two potential children, recorded in the LEFT_CHILD[i] and RIGHT_CHILD[i] arrays. Determine whether all the nodes given constitute precisely one valid binary tree. If node i lacks a left child, then LEFT_CHILD[i] will be -1; the same applies to the right child.

Example:

Input:
n = 4
LEFT_CHILD = [1, -1, 3, -1]
RIGHT_CHILD = [2, -1, -1, -1]
Output:
True
Explanation:

The structure forms a single valid binary tree with each node having only one parent and only one root.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 10
  • 1 <= N <= 104
  • LEFT_CHILD.length == RIGHT_CHILD.length == N
  • -1 <= LEFT_CHILD[i], RIGHT_CHILD[i] <= N - 1
  • Time Limit: 1 sec

Input:

The first line contains an integer ‘T’ denoting the number of test cases.
For each test case, the first line contains an integer ‘N’.
The next two lines for each test case provide the ‘LEFT_CHILD’ and ‘RIGHT_CHILD’ arrays.

Output:

For each test case, return ‘Yes’ or ‘No’ to indicate whether the nodes form precisely one valid binary tree.
Note:
No printing required; implement the function to return 'True' or 'False'. The nodes lack values; only node numbers are used in this context.

The task is to determine if the given binary tree nodes form exactly one valid binary tree.

  • Check if there is only one root node (a node with no parent)

  • Check if each node has at most one parent

  • Check if...read more
