Given a binary tree, find the length of the longest path where each node in the path has the same value. This path may or may not pass through the root.
Note: The length of path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.
Example 1:
Input:
5 / \ 4 5 / \ \ 1 1 5
Output:
2
Example 2:
Input:
1 / \ 4 5 / \ \ 4 4 5
Output:
2
Note: The given binary tree has not more than 10000 nodes. The height of the tree is not more than 1000.

思路:
对于这种树的路径问题,递归是不二之选。在递归函数中,我们首先对其左右子结点调用递归函数,得到其左右子树的最大相同值路径,下面就要来看当前结点和其左右子结点之间的关系了,如果其左子结点存在且和当前节点值相同,则left自增1,否则left重置0;同理,如果其右子结点存在且和当前节点值相同,则right自增1,否则right重置0。然后用left+right来更新结果res。而调用当前节点值的函数只能返回left和right中的较大值,因为如果还要跟父节点组path,就只能在左右子节点中选一条path,当然选值大的那个了
