			This
			function
			takes
			in
			the
			root
			of
			the
			binary
			tree
			,
			as
			well
			as
			the
			two
			nodes
			whose
			H
			CA
			we
			want
			to
			find
			.
			It
			recurs
			ively
			travers
			es
			the
			tree
			,
			comparing
			the
			two
			nodes
			to
			the
			current
			node
			.
			If
			either
			node
			is
			the
			current
			node
			,
			then
			that
			node
			is
			the
			H
			CA
			.
			If
			both
			nodes
			are
			children
			of
			the
			current
			node
			,
			then
			the
			current
			node
			is
			the
			H
			CA
			.
			If
			one
			node
			is
			a
			child
			of
			the
			current
			node
			and
			the
			other
			is
			not
			,
			then
			the
			non
			-
			child
			node
			is
			the
			H
			CA
			.
			If
			neither
			node
			is
			a
			child
			of
			the
			current
			node
			,
			then
			the
			function
			returns
			None
			.
			\n
			I
			hope
			this
			helps
			!
			Let
			me
			know
			if
			you
			have
			any
			questions
