U家面试prepare: Serialize and Deserialize Tree With Uncertain Children Nodes
Like Leetcode 297, Serialize and Deserialize Binary Tree, the only difference, this is not a binary tree.
The method to serialize is like this: (1(2)(3(5)(6))(4(7)))
if '(', right shift 1 position to the start of the number, use while loop to find the end of the number(either end with'(' or ')'), create a treeNode use this number as value, here we have two cases:
1. if stack is empty, this treeNode is root. push this node to stack
2. not empty, then this node is one child of stack.peek(), add this node to stack.peek().children, push this node to stack
else if ')', pop
