This approach utilizes recursion to traverse both trees simultaneously. If both node values are non-null, we sum them up as the new value and recursively merge their left and right children. If one node is null, we return the non-null node.
Time Complexity: O(n); Space Complexity: O(h), where n is the total number of nodes and h is the height of the tree.

This C solution uses a recursive function mergeTrees
. We check if either of the current nodes is null and return the other node. If neither is null, we sum their values, then recursively merge their left and right children.
This approach uses an iterative method with a stack to simulate the recursive calls for merging the two binary trees. We traverse the trees using a stack and merge nodes at each level iteratively.
Time Complexity: O(n); Space Complexity: O(h), where n is the total number of nodes and h is the maximum height of the two trees.

This C# solution implements an iterative merging of binary trees using a Stack. As nodes are processed iteratively, their values are summed, and children are managed accordingly.
