Hey y’all! The lovely Summer’s got another Top 15 frequently asked Meta question, Leetcode 236 Lowest Common Ancestor as well as its variant.

The normal procedure is that the Meta interviewer will first ask you to solve the original Leetcode problem and then if there’s time leftover, ask you to either verbally explain the solution when given an N-ary tree or actually implement it. It’ll all depend on the interviewer.

Please note there are many, many other LCA questions and variants (I think of LC1443, LC235 and so forth), we’ll cover them eventually!

Check it out (or not!):
