Closest Node to Path in Tree

Understand how to apply breadth-first search techniques to locate the closest node on a path between two nodes in a tree. Learn to handle queries efficiently and return the smallest indexed node if multiple are equally close. This lesson helps build skills to solve complex tree traversal problems in coding interviews.

Statement

You are given a positive integer, n, representing the number of nodes in a tree, numbered from 00 to n1n-1. You are also given a 2D integer array edges of length n1n-1, where edges[i] =[ui,vi]= [u_i, v_i] indicates that there is a bidirectional edge connecting nodes uiu_i and viv_i ...
