Diameter of Binary Tree

EasyTreesTree

Solve this the way you would in the interview: out loud, on a timer, with an AI interviewer asking follow-ups while you code. You get a scored report at the end.

Problem

Given the root of a binary tree, return 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. The length of a path between two nodes is represented by the number of edges between them.

Examples

Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5]
Output: 3
3 is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].
Input: root = [1,2]
Output: 1

Constraints

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [1, 10^4].
  • -100 <= Node.val <= 100

What the interviewer grades

A correct solution is one of five scores. The report also grades problem understanding (did you clarify inputs and edge cases before coding), problem solving, communication while you work, code quality, and testing. See a sample report, or read up on the pattern in the lessons.
