(b) Suppose that we are given the following definition of a rooted binary tree (not binary search tree): struct treeNode { int item; //stores the value struct treeNode left; //points to left child struct treeNode right; //points to right child }; struct treeNode root; //global variable to store tree root node Implement the following function clone (must be recursive) that makes a copy of a binary tree (keeping the original tree intact). struct treeNode clone (struct treeNode * node); The function will be called using the original root pointer as input argument. The function should return the root node of the new copy. For example, calling x = clone(root) will return the new root (of the tree copy) into variable x.

Question
(b) Suppose that we are given the following definition of a rooted binary tree (not binary
search tree):
struct treeNode
{
int item; //stores the value
struct treeNode left; //points to left child
struct treeNode right; //points to right child
struct treeNode root; //global variable to store tree root node
Implement the following function clone (must be recursive) that makes a copy of a
binary tree (keeping the original tree intact).
struct treeNode clone (struct treeNode* node);
The function will be called using the
original root pointer as input argument. The function should return the root node of the
new copy. For example, calling x = clone(root) will return the new root (of the tree
copy) into variable x.
