Search in a Virtually Complete Binary Tree
Consider a complete binary tree of n nodes whose values are 1 to n. The root has value of 1, its left child is 2 and its right child is 3. In general, nodes’ values are labelled 1 to n in level order traversal.
You are given a binary tree root and an integer target. Given that the root was originally a complete binary tree whose values were labelled as described above, and that some of the subtrees were deleted, return whether target exists in root.
Bonus: solve in \(\mathcal{O}(h)\) time where h is the height of the tree.
