Problem: Binary Tree Cameras

Medium
30 min
Explore how to efficiently place the fewest cameras in a binary tree so that every node is monitored, including itself, its parent, and children. Understand the problem constraints, apply dynamic programming principles, and implement a solution in a coding environment to practice optimization strategies.

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
