Problem: Binary Tree Cameras

Hard
40 min
Explore how to apply dynamic programming to find the minimum number of cameras required to monitor all nodes in a binary tree. This lesson guides you through understanding tree structures and optimizing camera placement to cover parents, children, and nodes themselves effectively.

Statement

You are given the root of a binary tree. Cameras can be installed on any node, and each camera can monitor itself, its parent, and its immediate children.

Your task is to determine the minimum number of cameras required to monitor every node in the tree.

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1,1000][1, 1000].

  • Node.data ==0== 0
