617. Merge Two Binary Trees（Easy）

Given two binary trees and imagine that when you put one of them to cover the other, some nodes of the two trees are overlapped while the others are not.

You need to merge them into a new binary tree. The merge rule is that if two nodes overlap, then sum node values up as the new value of the merged node. Otherwise, the NOT null node will be used as the node of new tree.

Example 1:

Input: 
	Tree 1                     Tree 2                  
          1                         2                             
         / \                       / \                            
        3   2                     1   3                        
       /                           \   \                      
      5                             4   7                  
Output: 
Merged tree:
	     3
	    / \
	   4   5
	  / \   \ 
	 5   4   7

 

Note: The merging process must start from the root nodes of both trees.

/*  合并的树是新建结点
    递归的思想，自己写不出来。。看discuss后觉得很简单，真尴尬,其实就是个二叉树的前序遍历,先处理根节点，然后递归处理两个左右子树。
