124 Binary Tree Maximum Path Sum 求二叉树的最大路径和

Given a binary tree, find the maximum path sum.

For this problem, a path is defined as any sequence of nodes from some starting node to any node in the tree along the parent-child connections. The path does not need to Go through the root.

For example:
Given the below binary tree,

       1
      / \
     2   3

Return 6.

分析
给定一颗二叉树，求其最大路径和。对于二叉树，算法大多可以选择递归解决，此题也不例外。
思路参考
如果只是一个节点,那么当然就是这个节点的值了.
如果这个作为root,那么最长路应该就是..
F(left) + F(right) + val…当然如果left,或者right<0就不用加了的= =
从下往上递归遍历…
如果不这个不是root,那么就不能把left和right加起来了…因为只是一条路…
代码如下：

    /** 
     * Definition for a binary tree node. 
     * struct TreeNode { 
     *     int val; 
     *     TreeNode *left; 
     *     TreeNode *right; 
     *     TreeNode(int x) : val(x), left(NULL), right(NULL) {} 
     * }; 
     */  

    class Solution {  
    public:  
        int maxVal = INT_MIN;  
        int maxPathSum(TreeNode* root) {  
            if (root == NULL)  
                return 0;  

            maxSum(root);  
            return maxVal;  
        }  

        /*递归函数*/  
        int maxSum(TreeNode *root)  
        {  
            if (root == NULL)  
                return 0;  

            /*求以root为根的当前子树的最大路径和*/  
            int curVal = root->val;  
            int lmaxSum = maxSum(root->left), rmaxSum = maxSum(root->right);  
            if (lmaxSum > 0)  
                curVal += lmaxSum;  
            if (rmaxSum > 0)  
                curVal += rmaxSum;  

            if (curVal > maxVal)  
                maxVal = curVal;  

            /*返回以当前root为根的子树的最大路径和*/  
            return max(root->val, max(root->val + lmaxSum, root->val + rmaxSum));  
        }  
    };
