Day 89 of 100 Days LeetCode Challenge

LeetCode Challenge #543. Diameter of Binary Tree

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:

diamtree

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

Java Solution
				
					class Solution {
    int dia = 0 ;
    public int height(TreeNode root){
        if(root == null){
            return 0 ;
        }
        int lh = height(root.left);
        int rh = height(root.right);
        // currNode diameter = lh + rh 
        dia = Math.max(lh+rh , dia  );

        return Math.max(lh , rh) +1 ;
    }
    public int diameterOfBinaryTree(TreeNode root) {
        if(root == null){
            return 0 ;
        }
        int h = height(root);
        return dia ;
    }
}
