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.

解题思路：

注意到若选取父节点，则其左右子节点均不可选。如果不选取父节点，则左右子节点可以选也可以不选。

代码展示：

/**
 * 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 {
private:
     vector<int> help(TreeNode* root){
        if(!root) return vector<int> (2,0);
        vector<int> left = help(root->left);
        vector<int> right = help(root->right);
        vector<int> res(2,0);
        //res[0]保存不添加root结点的情况
        //res[1]保存添加root结点的情况
        // res[0] 不包括root结点，所以其子节点可以选择取或者不取
        res[0]=max(left[0],left[1])+max(right[0],right[1]);
        // res[1] 包括root结点， 所以其子节点不可选取
        res[1]=root->val+left[0]+right[0];
        return res;
     }
 public:
    int rob(TreeNode* root){
        vector<int> result = help(root);
        return max(result[0], result[1]);
    }
};
