You are given the root of a binary tree. We install cameras on the tree nodes where each camera at a node can monitor its parent, itself, and its immediate children.

\n\n

Return the minimum number of cameras needed to monitor all nodes of the tree.

\n\n

 

\n

Example 1:

\n\"\"\n
\nInput: root = [0,0,null,0,0]\nOutput: 1\nExplanation: One camera is enough to monitor all nodes if placed as shown.\n
\n\n

Example 2:

\n\"\"\n
\nInput: root = [0,0,null,0,null,0,null,null,0]\nOutput: 2\nExplanation: At least two cameras are needed to monitor all nodes of the tree. The above image shows one of the valid configurations of camera placement.\n
