问题:
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.
解决:
① 求最长的相同值路径。dfs。
class Solution {//18ms
public int longestUnivaluePath(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null) return 0;
int sub = Math.max(longestUnivaluePath(root.left),longestUnivaluePath(root.right));
return Math.max(sub,dfs(root.left,root.val) + dfs(root.right,root.val));
}
public int dfs(TreeNode node,int parent){
if (node == null || node.val != parent) return 0;
return Math.max(dfs(node.left,node.val),dfs(node.right,node.val)) + 1;
}
}
② 另一种dfs方法
class Solution { //11ms
int max;
public int longestUnivaluePath(TreeNode root) {
if(root == null) return 0;
max = Integer.MIN_VALUE;
dfs(root, root.val);
return max;
}
private int dfs(TreeNode root, int value) {
if(root == null) return 0;
int left = dfs(root.left, root.val);
int right = dfs(root.right, root.val);
max = Math.max(max, left+right);
if(root.val == value) return Math.max(left, right) + 1;
return 0;
}
}
