Constraints

0 ≤ n ≤ 100,000 where n is the number of nodes in root

Example 1

Input

root = [1, [5, [6, null, null], [7, null, null]], [3, [2, null, null], [4, null, null]]]

Self Balancing Tree

An AVL tree (Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Landis' tree, named after the inventors) is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. We define balance factor for each node as : balanceFactor = height(left subtree) - height(righ
