Mytreenode: Find The Distance Between Two Nodes in Binary Tree: Class

The document describes how to find the distance between two nodes in a binary tree. It defines a MyTreeNode class to represent nodes, with data, left, and right child properties. The Distance method finds the lowest common ancestor (LCA) of the two nodes using the FindLCA method, and calculates each node's level from the root using FindLevel. It then returns the distance between the nodes as the sum of their levels from the LCA minus twice the LCA's level.
