Description

Given a binary tree rooted at root and a singly linked list starting at head, determine whether the linked list's values appear along some downward path in the tree (starting at any tree node and moving toward its descendants). Return True if such a path exists, False otherwise.

Example 1:

Input: head = [4,2,8], root = [1,4,4,null,2,2,null,1,null,6,8,null,null,null,null,1,3]

Output: true

Explanation: Nodes in blue form a subpath in the binary Tree.

Example 2:

Input: head = [1,4,2,6], root = [1,4,4,null,2,2,null,1,null,6,8,null,null,null,null,1,3]

Output: true

Example 3:

Input: head = [1,4,2,6,8], root = [1,4,4,null,2,2,null,1,null,6,8,null,null,null,null,1,3]

Output: false

Explanation: There is no path in the binary tree that contains all the elements of the linked list from head.
