19. Subtree of Another Tree

Given two non-empty binary trees s and t, check whether tree t has exactly the same structure and node values with a subtree of s. A subtree of s is a tree consists of a node in s and all of this node's descendants. The tree s could also be considered as a subtree of itself.

Example 1: Given tree s:

     3
    / \
   4   5
  / \
 1   2

Given tree t:

   4 
  / \
 1   2

Return true, because t has the same structure and node values with a subtree of s.

Example 2: Given tree s:

     3
    / \
   4   5
  / \
 1   2
    /
   0

Given tree t:

Return false.

Solution: (Comparing node by node with equal root)

Time Complexity: O(N M) (n = nodes in s, m = nodes in t)
