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.
Example 1:
Input: root = [1,2,3,4,5] Output: 3 Explanation: 3 is the length of the path [4,2,1,3] or [5,2,1,3].
Example 2:
Input: root = [1,2] Output: 1
Constraints:
- The number of nodes in the tree is in the range
[1, 104]
. -100 <= Node.val <= 100
