250. Count Univalue Subtrees

Given a binary tree, count the number of uni-value subtrees.

A Uni-value subtree means all nodes of the subtree have the same value.

Example :

Input:  root = [5,1,5,5,5,null,5]

              5
             / 
            1   5
           /    
          5   5   5

Output: 4

两次recursion，如果root是univalue的，返回1+ left + right，如果不是，返回left + right（有大量重复check，慢）

        if(unival(root)) {
            return 1 + countUnivalSubtrees(root.left) + countUnivalSubtrees(root.right);
        }
        return countUnivalSubtrees(root.left) + countUnivalSubtrees(root.right);
    }
    
    public boolean unival(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null) {
            return true;
        }
        if(root.left == null && root.right == null) {
            return true;
        }
        if(root.left != null && root.val != root.left.val) {
            return false;
        }
        if(root.right != null && root.val != root.right.val) {
            return false;
        }
        
        return unival(root.left) && unival(root.right);
