298. Binary Tree Longest Consecutive Sequence
Copy Given a binary tree, find the length of the longest consecutive sequence path.
The path refers to any sequence of nodes from some starting node to any node in the tree along the parent-child connections. The longest consecutive path need to be from parent to child (cannot be the reverse).
Copy /**
* 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 longestConsecutive ( TreeNode root) {
return dfs(root , null , 0 ) ;
}
private int dfs ( TreeNode p , TreeNode parent , int length) {
if (p == null ) return length;
if (parent != null && p . val == parent . val + 1 ) {
length = length + 1 ;
} else {
length = 1 ;
}
return Math . max (length ,
Math . max ( dfs( p . left , p , length) ,
dfs( p . right , p , length) ));
}
}
Approach #2 Bottom Up DFS
Copy class Solution {
private int maxLength = 0 ;
public int longestConsecutive ( TreeNode root) {
dfs(root) ;
return maxLength;
}
private int dfs ( TreeNode p) {
if (p == null ) return 0 ;
int L = dfs( p . left ) + 1 ;
int R = dfs( p . right ) + 1 ;
if ( p . left != null && p . val + 1 != p . left . val ) {
L = 1 ;
}
if ( p . right != null && p . val + 1 != p . right . val ) {
R = 1 ;
}
int length = Math . max (L , R);
maxLength = Math . max (maxLength , length);
return length;
}
}
