543. Diameter of Binary Tree
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 thelongest 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.
二叉树的直径:二叉树中从一个结点到另一个节点最长的路径,叫做二叉树的直径
采用分治和递归的思想:根节点为root的二叉树的直径 = Max(左子树直径,右子树直径,左子树的最大深度(不包括根节点)+右子树的最大深度(不包括根节点)+1)
/**

* int val;

* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }

public class Solution {
// 全局变量,记录最大直径
int diameter = 0;
public int diameterOfBinaryTree(TreeNode root) {
getDepth(root);
return diameter;
}
// 此函数是返回树的最大深度
private int getDepth(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null)
return 0;
int l = getDepth(root.left);
int r = getDepth(root.right);
diameter = Math.max(diameter, l + r);
return Math.max(l, r) + 1;
}
