Given a binary tree, you need to find the length of Longest Consecutive Path in Binary Tree.
Especially, this path can be either increasing or decreasing. For example, [1,2,3,4] and [4,3,2,1] are both considered valid, but the path [1,2,4,3] is not valid. On the other hand, the path can be in the child-Parent-child order, where not necessarily be parent-child order.
Example 1:
Input: 1 / \ 2 3 Output: 2 Explanation: The longest consecutive path is [1, 2] or [2, 1].
Example 2:
Input: 2 / \ 1 3 Output: 3 Explanation: The longest consecutive path is [1, 2, 3] or [3, 2, 1].
Note: All the values of tree nodes are in the range of [-1e7, 1e7].
这个比I麻烦在可以是child-Parent-child的顺序。那么需要判断左边的inc和dec,右边的inc和dec,比较左inc+右dec和左dec+右inc的大小,取最大。设全局max,递归的过程中实时更新max。代码如下:/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* public class TreeNode {
* int val;
* TreeNode left;
* TreeNode right;
* TreeNode(int x) { val = x; }
* }
*/
public class Solution {
int max = 0;
public int longestConsecutive(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null) {
return 0;
}
helper(root);
return max;
}
private int[] helper(TreeNode root) {
if (root == null) {
return new int[]{0, 0};
}
int inc = 1, dec = 1;
if (root.left != null) {
int[] l = helper(root.left);
if (root.val == root.left.val + 1) {
inc = l[0] + 1;
} else if (root.val == root.left.val - 1) {
dec = l[1] + 1;
}
}
if (root.right != null) {
int[] r = helper(root.right);
if (root.val == root.right.val + 1) {
inc = Math.max(inc, r[0] + 1);
} else if (root.val == root.right.val - 1) {
dec = Math.max(dec, r[1] + 1);
}
}
max = Math.max(max, inc + dec - 1);
return new int[]{inc, dec};
}
}
