Given the root
of a binary tree, return the length of the diameter of the tree.
The diameter of a binary tree is the length of the longest path between any two nodes in a tree. This path may or may not pass through the root
.
The length of a path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.
Example 1:
Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: 3
Explanation: 3 is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].
Example 2:
Input: root = [1,2]
Output: 1
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[1, 104]
. -
-100 <= Node.val <= 100
SOLUTION:
# Definition for a binary tree node.
# class TreeNode:
# def __init__(self, val=0, left=None, right=None):
# self.val = val
# self.left = left
# self.right = right
class Solution:
def maxDepth(self, root):
if not root:
return -1
a = 1 + self.maxDepth(root.left)
b = 1 + self.maxDepth(root.right)
self.md = max(self.md, a + b)
return max(a, b)
def diameterOfBinaryTree(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> int:
self.md = float('-inf')
self.maxDepth(root)
return self.md
