Doubt in editorial sol'n why do we need the "bool find" function?

#1 
```
class Solution {
    public:
        TreeNode *LCA(TreeNode *root, int val1, int val2) {
            if (!root) return NULL;
            if (root->val == val1 || root->val == val2) return root;
            TreeNode *L = LCA(root->left, val1, val2);
            TreeNode *R = LCA(root->right, val1, val2);
            if (L && R) return root; // If val1, val2 are on both sides 
            return L ? L : R; // either one of val1, val2 is on one side OR val1, val2 is not in L&R subtrees
        }

        bool find(TreeNode *root, int val1) {
            if (!root) return false;
            if (root->val == val1) return true;
            return (find(root->left, val1) || find(root->right, val1));
        }

        int lca(TreeNode *root, int val1, int val2) {
            if (!find(root, val1) || !find(root, val2)) return -1;
            TreeNode *ans = LCA(root, val1, val2);
            if (!ans) return -1;
            return ans->val;
        }
};
```

Lets say that we have a tree
we use the above code,just not the find part
eg1-1 2 3 -1 -1 -1 -1
val1=1;
val2=3;
answer using the code without find is 1(root->val==val1),now lets take another example

eg2-1 2 -1 -1 -1
val1=1
val2=3
now root with data 3 is not present in our tree,but when we calculate the answer without find
it still returns 1(root->val==val1) without checking the second node is present or not;

answer should be -1(FIND helps us in tackling this problem)
