1. You are not required to print the output explicitly, it has already been taken care of. Just implement the function and return the number of turns required to reach from one ‘source’ node to ‘destination’ node.
2. It is sure that every node value will present exactly once in the binary tree.
The first line of input contains an integer ‘T’ denoting the number of test cases.
The next ‘2*T’ lines represent the ‘T’ test cases.
The first line of input contains two space-separated integers, the first denotes the given ‘source’ node value and the second denotes the ‘destination’ node value.
The second line of input contains the elements of the tree in the level order form separated by a single space.
If any node does not have a left or right child, take -1 in its place. Refer to the example below.
Example:
Elements are in the level order form. The input consists of values of nodes separated by a single space in a single line. In case a node is null, we take -1 in its place.
For example, the input for the tree depicted in the below image would be :

1
2 3
4 -1 5 6
-1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1
-1 -1
Explanation :
Level 1 :
The root node of the tree is 1
Level 2 :
Left child of 1 = 2
Right child of 1 = 3
Level 3 :
Left child of 2 = 4
Right child of 2 = null (-1)
Left child of 3 = 5
Right child of 3 = 6
Level 4 :
Left child of 4 = null (-1)
Right child of 4 = 7
Left child of 5 = null (-1)
Right child of 5 = null (-1)
Left child of 6 = null (-1)
Right child of 6 = null (-1)
Level 5 :
Left child of 7 = null (-1)
Right child of 7 = null (-1)
The first not-null node (of the previous level) is treated as the parent of the first two nodes of the current level. The second not-null node (of the previous level) is treated as the parent node for the next two nodes of the current level and so on.
The input ends when all nodes at the last level are null (-1).
The above format was just to provide clarity on how the input is formed for a given tree.
The sequence will be put together in a single line separated by a single space. Hence, for the above-depicted tree, the input will be given as:
1 2 3 4 -1 5 6 -1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
For every test case, return the number of turns.
1 <= T <= 100
2 <= N <= 3000
-10^9 <= S, D <= 10^9
-10^9 <= data <= 10^9
Where ‘T’ represents the number of test cases, ‘N’ is the number of nodes in the tree, ‘S’ and ‘D’ denotes the value of ‘source’ node and ‘destination’ node, and ‘data’ denotes data contained in the node of a binary tree.

The idea is to first find the LCA(source node and destination node). From LCA to find the number of turns to reach the ‘source’ node as well as ‘destination’ node.
Find the LCA of ‘source’ node and ‘destination’ node.
Find the number of turns from LCA to ‘source’ node.
Find the number of turns from LCA to ‘destination’ node.
Start from the LCA node and track your path to reach the ‘source’ node with help of ‘l’ and ‘r’ characters, if two consecutive characters are different then you are turning. Suppose your track is { ‘l’, ’l’, ‘r’, ‘r’, ’l’ }
Then at the second and third positions, you are turning from ‘l’ to ‘r’, and at the fourth and fifth position, you are turning ‘r’ to ‘l’.
