337. House Robber III

The thief has found himself a new place for his thievery again. There is only one entrance to this area, called the "root." Besides the root, each house has one and only one parent house. After a tour, the smart thief realized that "all houses in this place forms a binary tree". It will automatically contact the police if two directly-linked houses were broken into on the same night.

Determine the maximum amount of money the thief can rob tonight without alerting the police.

Example 1:

     3
    / \
   2   3
    \   \ 
     3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob =  3  +  3  +  1  =  7 .

Example 2:

     3
    / \
   4   5
  / \   \ 
 1   3   1

Maximum amount of money the thief can rob =  4  +  5  =  9 .

class Solution {

        if(!root)return;
        int l1=0,l2=0,r1=0,r2=0;
        dfs(root->left,l1,l2);
        dfs(root->right,r1,r2);
        sum1=root->val+l2+r2;
        sum2=max(l1,l2)+max(r1,r2);
    }
    int rob(TreeNode* root) {
        int sum1=0,sum2=0;
        dfs(root,sum1,sum2);
        return max(sum1,sum2);
    }
};

看了别人的代码，居然看了很久才看懂，现在这里注明一下各个变量的意思，其中sum1表示加上本层，sum2表示不加本层。l1表示加上左孩子那层，l2表示不加左孩子那层，r1表示加上右孩子那层，r2表示不加右孩子那层。

sum1=root->val+l2+r2;表示加上root层，并且不能加上孩子那层

sum2=max(l1,l2)+max(r1,r2);表示不加root层，孩子那层加不加看最后算的最大值得结果
