Problem
Given the root
of a binary tree, return the length of the longest consecutive sequence path.
A consecutive sequence path is a path where the values increase by one along the path.
Note that the path can start at any node in the tree, and you cannot go from a node to its parent in the path.
Â
Example 1:
Input: root = [1,null,3,2,4,null,null,null,5] Output: 3 Explanation: Longest consecutive sequence path is 3-4-5, so return 3.
Example 2:
Input: root = [2,null,3,2,null,1] Output: 2 Explanation: Longest consecutive sequence path is 2-3, not 3-2-1, so return 2.

Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[1, 3 * 104]
. -3 * 104 <= Node.val <= 3 * 104
