'
s
a
function
in
Python
to
find
the
highest
common
ancest
or
(
H
CA
)
of
two
nodes
in
a
binary
tree
:
\n
```
python
\n
def
h
ca
(
node
1
,
node
2
):
\n
while
node
1
!=
node
2
:
\n
node
1
=
node
1
.
parent
\n
node
2
=
node
2
.
parent
\n
return
node
1
\n
```
\n
This
function
takes
two
nodes
as
input
,
`
node
1
`
and
`
node
2
`,
and
travers
es
up
the
tree
until
it
finds
the
node
that
is
the
grand
parent
of
both
`
node
1
`
and
`
node
2
`.
It
then
returns
this
node
as
the
H
CA
of
the
two
input
nodes
.
\n
\n
Note
that
this
function
finds
the
H
CA
of
the
two
input
nodes
,
not
the
L
CA
(
le
ast
common
ancest
or
).
To
find
the
L
CA
,
you
would
need
to
modify
the
function
to
keep
track
of
the
L
CA
node
as
it
travers
es
up
the
tree
.
