Tree Serialization and Deserialization
Implement methods to serialize and deserialize a binary tree. Serialization is the process of converting a tree to a string, and deserialization is the reverse process.
Input:
- The first line contains an integer n, the number of nodes in the binary tree.
- The next n lines contain node values in a level order traversal (use -1 for null nodes).
Output:
- Output the serialized string and then deserialize it back and print the confirmation that the structure is preserved.
Example:
Input:
5
1 2 3 -1 -1 -1 -1
Output:
1,2,3,null,null,null,null
Successfully deserialized back to original structure.
