Merge Two Binary Trees

A
#!/usr/local/bin/python3
"""
Problem Description: Given two binary tree, return the merged tree.
The rule for merging is that if two nodes overlap, then put the value sum of
both nodes to the new value of the merged node. Otherwise, the NOT null node
will be used as the node of new tree.
