20. Even Odd Tree
A binary tree is named Even-Odd if it meets the following conditions:
The root of the binary tree is at level index
0
, its children are at level index1
, their children are at level index2
, etc.For every even-indexed level, all nodes at the level have odd integer values in strictly increasing order (from left to right).
For every odd-indexed level, all nodes at the level have even integer values in strictly decreasing order (from left to right).
Given the root
of a binary tree, return true
if the binary tree is Even-Odd, otherwise return false
.
Example 1:

Input: root = [1,10,4,3,null,7,9,12,8,6,null,null,2]
Output: true
Explanation: The node values on each level are:
Level 0: [1]
Level 1: [10,4]
Level 2: [3,7,9]
Level 3: [12,8,6,2]
Since levels 0 and 2 are all odd and increasing, and levels 1 and 3 are all even and decreasing, the tree is Even-Odd.
Example 2:

Input: root = [5,4,2,3,3,7]
Output: false
Explanation: The node values on each level are:
Level 0: [5]
Level 1: [4,2]
Level 2: [3,3,7]
Node values in the level 2 must be in strictly increasing order, so the tree is not Even-Odd.
Example 3:

Input: root = [5,9,1,3,5,7]
Output: false
Explanation: Node values in the level 1 should be even integers.
Example 4:
Input: root = [1]
Output: true
Example 5:
Input: root = [11,8,6,1,3,9,11,30,20,18,16,12,10,4,2,17]
Output: true
