Given a binary tree, you need to compute 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.
Example:
Given a binary tree
1
/ \
2 3
/ \
4 5
Return 3, which is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].
Note: The length of path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.
思路:divide and conquer, helper function返回的物理意义是:最长的node数目,所以最后要求边,如果res[0] 不是0,就要-1;
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode() {}
* TreeNode(int val) { this.val = val; }
* TreeNode(int val, TreeNode left, TreeNode right) {
* this.val = val;
* this.left = left;
* this.right = right;
* }
* }

class Solution {
public int diameterOfBinaryTree(TreeNode root) {
int[] res = new int[]{0};
dfs(root, res);
return res[0] - 1;
}
private int dfs(TreeNode root, int[] res) {
if(root == null) {
return 0;
}
int leftdepth = dfs(root.left, res);
int rightdepth = dfs(root.right, res);
int curdepth = Math.max(leftdepth, rightdepth) + 1;
res[0] = Math.max(res[0], leftdepth + rightdepth + 1);
return curdepth;
